🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 tbsp honey

For Toppings

1 large egg
1 tbsp water
sesame seeds
poppy seeds
everything bagel seasoning

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
2While the air fryer is preheating, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the greek yogurt, egg, and honey.
5Stir until a dough forms.
6The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
7If it is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
8If it is too dry, add a bit more yogurt.
9Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes.
10Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
11Using your thumb, create a hole in the center of each ball and stretch it to form a bagel shape.
12Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
13In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
14Brush the egg wash onto each bagel and sprinkle with your choice of topping seeds.
15Place the bagels in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
16Air fry the bagels at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
17After 5 minutes, flip the bagels and air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
18The bagels should be golden brown and firm to the touch when done.
19Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
20This allows the bagels to crisp up slightly more and makes them easier to handle.
21Enjoy your homemade air fryer bagels with your favorite cream cheese or jam.
