Description

Easy 2 ingredient air fryer bagels made with just self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. No yeast, no boiling, ready in 15 minutes — chewy on the inside, golden on the outside, and Weight Watchers friendly.

Ingredients 

For the dough:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, thick — Fage or Chobani recommended

For the egg wash (optional but recommended):

  • 1 large egg, beaten

Optional toppings:

  • 1 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (if your model requires preheating).
  • Mix the dough. In a medium bowl, stir together the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 1 minute, just until smooth. Add a sprinkle more flour if the dough is too sticky to handle.
  • Divide and shape. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6–8 inch rope, then bring the ends together and press firmly to seal into a bagel ring. Make the hole larger than you think — it shrinks while cooking.
  • Egg wash. Place the shaped bagels on a piece of parchment. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with your favorite seasoning.
  • Air fry. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray, or use a parchment liner. Place the bagels in the basket with space between each one — don't let them touch. Air fry at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until deep golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
  • Cool. Carefully transfer the bagels to a wire rack and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Notes

  • Yogurt matters. Use the thickest plain Greek yogurt you can find. Fage Total 5%, Chobani plain, or Stonyfield organic all work great. Avoid "Greek-style" yogurt, which is too thin.
  • No self-rising flour? Make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk before using.
  • Larger batches. This recipe doubles or triples easily. Cook in batches so the bagels have room to expand.
  • Make them mini. Divide the dough into 8 pieces instead of 4 for slider-sized bagels. Reduce cook time to 7–8 minutes.
  • Storage. Room temperature 2 days, refrigerator 5 days, freezer 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 1–2 minutes.
