Air Fryer 2 Ingredient 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.

Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Bagels

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Greek Yogurt
• 1 cup self-rising flour

Optional: Egg wash (1 egg and water

Simple Directions:

1. Mix together the Greek Yogurt, and self-rising flour, until the dough comes together.
2. Use a rolling pin and roll the dough out, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Use biscuit cutters and cut your circles out.
4. Optional: Brush, with a pastry brush,  the egg wash on top of the bagel (this will make it shiny)
5. Air Fry at 350F. for 8 to 11 minutes, flipping halfway.

Some Common Questions Asked About This Recipe, and Making Two-Ingredient Bagels:

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.

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, just skip.

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 Do You Store Leftover Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Bagels?

Easy, if you do not finish them all in one sitting, simply place them into an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. They should last about 2 to 3 days. You can simply 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 You Freeze Air Fryer 2 Ingredient Bagels?

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