Easy Air Fryer Bagels Recipe with Simple Ingredients

Air Fryer Bagels are one of my favorite non-traditional recipes when I want a warm breakfast recipe without the hassle. Made with greek yogurt and self rising flour, these 2 ingredients come together fast, with no yeast and barely any cleanup. I love how simple they feel while still delivering that classic bagel bite in less than 20 minutes.

The first time I made bagels in air fryer, I didn’t expect them to puff up so well or brown so evenly. Since then, I’ve kept them in regular rotation because they’re truly customizable bagels that fit busy mornings and lazy weekends just as easily.

Easy Air Fryer Bagels Recipe with Simple Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 cup self rising flour
• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg, for wash

Preparing the Dough

Step 1: Add the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to a mixing bowl. Stir with a spoon until the ingredients begin to come together into a rough dough.

Step 2: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and easy to handle. The dough should feel soft but not sticky.

Step 3: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope and join the ends together, pinching the seam firmly to create a bagel shape.

Step 4: Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg. This simple step gives them a beautiful golden color and slightly crisp exterior.

Air Fryer Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 330°F (165°C) for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2: Lightly grease the basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Place the bagels in the basket in a single layer, leaving enough room for air to circulate around each one.

Step 4: Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until the bagels are puffed and evenly golden on top.

Step 5: Carefully remove the bagels and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. The texture will continue to set as they cool.

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1 cup self rising flour
• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg for wash

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. If the dough is sticky, add a small amount of flour as needed.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 to 7 inches long, then join the ends and pinch to seal, forming a bagel shape.
• Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg. This helps create a golden, bakery-style finish.
• Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line it with parchment paper. Arrange the bagels in a single layer, leaving space between them.
• Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bagels are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
• Remove the bagels from the basket and let them cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

• If the dough feels sticky while kneading, add flour 1 teaspoon at a time rather than adding too much at once.
• Leave space between the bagels in the basket so they cook evenly and develop a better crust.
• Let the bagels cool for a few minutes before slicing to help maintain their chewy texture.
