Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Weight Watcher Friendly Bagels-This is one of the most straightforward recipes for two-ingredient bagels, which uses your air fryer. They are so easy to make and take such little time. Everyone should be trying these. Today, I show you how to make Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Bagels.

Traditional bagels are fantastic and delicious; however, they take hours to make, and there is a point of boiling them before air frying or baking them. 

Today I turned my attention to a more straightforward recipe that has been floating on the Internet for a while now. I believe the recipe started as a Weight Watcher Breakfast Option. 

These bagels only have two ingredients to be used, but I will show you how to jazz those two bagels into hundreds of flavors below. But first, let us start with the basic 2 Ingredient Bagel.

What Are Weight Watcher Bagels?

Bagels are a staple breakfast item for many people. But, bagels can be quite high in calories and fat content depending on the type you choose. These homemade Weight Watchers Bagels, made with self-rising flour and Greek yogurt,  offer a low calorie option that still taste great! 

Ingredients Needed For Two Ingredient Bagels

 

Ingredients For 2 Ingredient Bagels

• Greek Yogurt
• Self Rising Flour
• Optional: Egg wash

How To Make Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Weight Watcher Friendly Bagels

 

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and Greek Yogurt until it forms a dough. I find using my hands for this makes it easier to work the dough together.

Form dough into a ball and place it on a clean work surface that is lightly dusted with flour. Cut the ball into 4ths and then roll them between your hands to form 4 equal-sized balls.

 

 

Roll the dough balls on the work surface into a long rope shape, about 8 inches in length. Bring the ends together and pinch to form a circle. Repeat with the other dough balls.  In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the bagels with the egg wash. 

 

Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the bagels, egg wash side up, into the basket, not touching. You may need to do this in batches. Air Fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown on the outside. Let cool slightly before serving.

FAQ’s:

Why Do You Use Greek Yogurt?

Greek yogurt is used for this recipe because it is heavier than regular yogurt. It is thicker because it was strained. If your dough ends up sticky, you can use more self-rising flour or use less yogurt. 

I personally like either Fage or Stonyfield. I feel that their yogurts do a better job of making air fryer bagels.

What Is The Difference Between Self Rising Flour and Regular Flour?

People often ask us what the difference between self rising flour and regular flour is. The answer is that they are very similar, but not exactly the same thing.

Self rising flour already has baking powder added into it along with salt so you can use it for things like pancakes, waffles, biscuits etc without having to add your own baking powder. Regular all-purpose flour does not have any leavener agent in it nor does it have salt so you must add your own before using this type of flour for recipes such as pancakes or waffles.

How Do You Shape Bagels?

I like to roll them out, I think they end up looking better, but obviously, other ways work.

When I am making bagels with my family, we use our hands. We do not roll anything. My kid’s foolproof method is to create a dough ball and then stick their finger through it to make the hole. Easy and effective.

Why Do You Use An Egg Wash?

If you are allergic to eggs, you can skip this step because it only adds the shine of a traditional bagel on top. I like the egg wash, but if you are short on time or allergic, skip it.

My Bagels Do Not Air Fry (Cook) In The Middle.

This is a common problem. My two thoughts are either the bagels are too thick, and the air fryer couldn’t cook in the middle. Or you did not flip them halfway.

How Should I Store The Bagels?

Easy, if you do not finish them all in one sitting, place them into an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. They should last about 2 to 3 days. You can toast them when you are ready to eat them or eat them cold. It is up to you. I reheat mine in the air fryer and then add butter or jam as a treat.

Can I Double The Recipe?

You can easily double the recipe because it is so easy to make! You’ll need four or six bagels, depending on how big you cut them.  The recipe will remains the same, although for best results do not crowd the basket, otherwise they will not cook up properly.

If you only want to make 2 bagels, you can also divide the recipe by 2, for a perfect breakfast for one!

Can You Freeze Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Bagels?

Yes, let them cool to room temperature and then individually wrap them in saran wrap and place them in the freezer. To use from frozen, place in the refrigerator until the bagels thaw.

Can I Make These In The Oven?

Yes, make them as directed in the recipe, and then place them into a preheated 375 degree F oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check on your bagels frequently during the cooking process, and remove them when golden brown.
