And then, add your bagel bites on top of the parchment paper in a single layer, set the cooking time to 375 degrees F, and cook for 5-8 minutes. For added flavor, brush with melted butter (unsalted) while the bagel bites are cooking in the air fryer.

Pro Tips

  • Use Greek Yogurt and Self-Rising Flour Ratio: Stick to a 1:1 ratio of Greek yogurt to self-rising flour. This combination provides the right texture and rises for the bagels. Altering the ratio may affect the dough’s consistency and the final outcome.
  • Don’t Overmix the Dough: Avoid overmixing the dough when combining Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture. Mix until the ingredients are combined, then knead gently until the dough comes together.
  • Add Flavor and Texture: While the basic two-ingredient bagels are delicious on their own, you can enhance their flavor and texture by incorporating additional ingredients. Mix shredded cheese, dried herbs, minced garlic, or diced onions into the dough for a more savory profile. You can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
  • Use Parchment Paper or Non-Stick Spray: To prevent the bagels from sticking to the air fryer basket or tray, line them with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray before placing the bagels.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with toppings to add extra flavor and visual appeal. Classic options include everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or a sprinkle of coarse salt. You can also try different combinations or customize the toppings to your preferences.
  • Flip the Bagels: Flip the bagels halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning. This helps achieve a golden color on both sides.
  • Cool before Serving: Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes before enjoying them. This allows them to set and ensures a better texture.
  • Store and Reheat: If you have leftovers, store the cooled bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, lightly toast them in a toaster or warm them in the air fryer for a few minutes until they are warm and crispy again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Making Bagels With Greek Yogurt

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is recommended for making bagels because of its thicker consistency and higher protein content. Regular yogurt may make the dough too wet, resulting in a different texture and potentially affecting the bagel’s rise.

Can I substitute all-purpose flour for self-rising flour?

Self-rising flour contains leavening agents (baking powder and salt) already mixed in, which helps the bagels rise. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.

How can I prevent the bagels from sticking to the air fryer basket or tray?

To prevent sticking, line the air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper or lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray before placing the bagels. This will help the bagels release easily after cooking.

Can I freeze the bagels?

Yes, you can freeze the bagels. Once they have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave them at room temperature or reheat them in a toaster or oven.

Can I make the bagel dough ahead of time?

It’s best to make the bagel dough and bake the bagels immediately for optimal results. The leavening agents in self-rising flour begin to activate once mixed with the Greek yogurt, so it’s ideal for working with the dough immediately. However, you can prepare and refrigerate the dough for a few hours if needed. Allow the dough to come to room temperature before shaping and baking.

Can I use different toppings or add-ins?

Absolutely! Bagels offer endless customization options. You can experiment with various toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried herbs, shredded cheese, minced garlic, or diced onions. Feel free to get creative and tailor the bagels to your taste preferences.

How can I achieve a chewier texture?

You can boil the bagels before air frying them for a chewier texture. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and carefully lower the shaped bagels into the boiling water for about 30 seconds per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and place them on a lined tray. Then, proceed with air frying as directed.
