Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Asiago Cheese Bagels

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

• Self-Rising Flour: Provides the necessary leavening and structure for a light and fluffy bagel.
• Greek Yogurt: Adds moisture and helps bind the dough together while contributing a slight tangy flavor.
• Shredded Asiago Cheese: Gives the bagels a rich, savory flavor and a deliciously cheesy crust.

How To Make Air Fryer Asiago Cheese Bagels

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Step One: In a large mixing bowl combine self-rising flour, yogurt and ½ cup of the cheese, use a wooden spoon to connect.

Step Two: Lightly flour your surface and lightly knead the dough. Form into a round, and cut into four pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll each into a 5- to 7-inch rope, then pinch ends together to form a circle. I place a parchment round in my air fryer but you don’t have to. Place the bagels into your air fryer (don’t let them touch, so you may have to do two batches)

Step Three: Top the bagels evenly with the remaining cheese.  Air fry at 350 degrees F, and set cook time for 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness.

Air Fryer Asiago Cheese Bagels Recipe Tips

• Use Self-Rising Flour: For best results, use self-rising flour as it already contains baking powder and salt, which helps the bagels rise and become fluffy.
• Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on the size of your bagels and the power of your air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Start with 10 minutes and check for doneness.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Place the bagels in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy all around.
• Let Them Cool: Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing to prevent them from becoming too soft.
• Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add extra toppings like garlic powder or herbs before air frying to enhance the flavor.

Air Fryer Asiago Cheese Bagels Recipe Faqs

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Asiago? Yes, you can substitute Asiago with other cheeses like Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella. Each will bring a unique flavor to the bagels.

How do I store leftover bagels? Store any leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer or toaster before eating.

Can I make these bagels ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the bagel dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Shape and cook the bagels just before serving for the best texture.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour? If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour and add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt per cup of flour to mimic self-rising flour.

How can I get my bagels to rise properly? Ensure your air fryer is preheated and the bagels are evenly spaced to allow proper air circulation. Also, avoid overmixing the dough to prevent dense bagels.

6. Can I add toppings to my bagels? Absolutely! Feel free to add additional toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or extra shredded cheese before air frying for added flavor and texture.
