Ingredients
For the Bagels

- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt can substitute for gluten-free yogurt
- 1 large egg for egg wash

- 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg white whisked until frothy
- Everything bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and salt.
- Add the yogurt and mix the dough using a fork, hands, or a rubber spatula until the dough is wet but slightly crumbly.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it into a smooth ball.
- Separate the dough into 4 equal pieces.
Shaping
- Roll each piece of dough into a 5-6 inch long, 3/4 inch wide log and form it into a circle, pinching the ends together.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk with some water and brush the mixture on top and middle of each bagel.
- Leave them plain or add your desired toppings.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and spray the basket with olive oil spray.
- Place the formed bagels in a single layer in the air fryer, about 2 inches apart.
- Cook for about 10 minutes until golden brown, checking at around 8-9 minutes to ensure they don’t get too brown.
- Remove the bagels and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For unique flavors, consider mixing in garlic powder or adding shredded cheese to the dough. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a week. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic and place in a freezer bag.
