Description

Delightful mini air fryer bagels combine simple ingredients for a quick, satisfying homemade treat. Crisp exterior and chewy center promise a delicious breakfast or snack you’ll savor with every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour (such as King Arthur’s)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsps everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • olive oil spray
  • 1 egg white
  • water (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Flour Blend Preparation: Combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to create a homemade self-rising flour mixture.
  2. Dough Formation: Incorporate Greek yogurt into the flour blend using a fork, gently mixing until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough develops with minimal lumps.
  3. Dough Kneading: Dust hands with flour and knead the dough within the bowl for approximately 90 seconds, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture.
  4. Shaping Process: Transfer dough to a floured surface and divide into 12-13 equal portions, rolling each into a smooth sphere and creating a central hole to form mini bagel shapes.
  5. Seasoning Application: Brush each dough sphere with olive oil or water, then generously coat with Everything bagel seasoning to enhance flavor complexity.
  6. Air Fryer Preparation: Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray the basket with olive oil to prevent potential sticking.
  7. Cooking Technique: Arrange bagels in a single layer with minimal spacing, air frying for 10-12 minutes while checking doneness by splitting one open at the 10-minute mark.
  8. Cooling and Serving: Remove bagels from air fryer and allow a brief 5-minute cooling period before serving with preferred accompaniments like butter or cream cheese.

Notes

  • Prevent Sticking: Lightly spray or brush olive oil in the air fryer basket to ensure easy bagel removal and prevent tearing.
  • Dough Consistency Check: The dough should feel slightly sticky but manageable; add more flour in small increments if too wet or more yogurt if too dry.
  • Seasoning Tip: Press Everything bagel seasoning gently into the dough surface to help it adhere better during cooking.
  • Cooling Importance: Allow bagels to rest for 5 minutes after cooking to help them set and develop a slightly crispy exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
