Air Fryer Bagels from Scratch β Crispy Outside, Chewy Inside! π₯―
You guys, I've been making these homemade bagels in my air fryer for the past month and I'm NEVER going back to store-bought. There's something magical about biting into a warm bagel with that perfect golden crust and soft, pillowy center. Plus, your kitchen will smell like a New York bakery!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
- 1 cup self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Your favorite toppings: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or sea salt
Instructions:
Mix the yogurt and flour until it forms a shaggy dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Divide into 4 pieces, roll each into a rope, and form into bagel shapes. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with toppings, and air fry at 350Β°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
What to Serve With:
Cream cheese and lox, butter and jam, avocado and everything seasoning, or make them into breakfast sandwiches with eggs and bacon!
The Secret Ingredient:
A tiny pinch of baking soda in your egg wash! It gives you that authentic bagel shine and helps create an even crispier crust in the air fryer.
