Equipment

  • A large mixing bowl
  •  An air fryer basket

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 3/4 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Dough

  • Start by combining the flour and Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl. Mix it thoroughly until a dough begins to form. Don’t be shy to knead with your hands; it’s satisfying! Aim for a dough that’s not too sticky. Adjust with more flour or yogurt if necessary.

Step 2: Add Flavor

  • Once you have a good dough, add in the honey, melted butter, garlic powder, and sesame seeds. This combination will provide a nice complexity. Knead the dough a bit more to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Trust me, you’ll want every bite to have that fantastic flavor.

Step 3: Shape Your Bagels

  • Dust your countertop with a little flour and divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a long log. Then, connect the ends to form a doughnut shape. Make sure the hole in the center is well-formed; this helps them cook evenly in the air fryer.

Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer

  • Set your air fryer to 330°F (165°C) for about 3 minutes to preheat. This ensures your bagels cook consistently and achieve that desired crunch.

Step 5: Air Fry The Bagels

  • Place the shaped bagels into the air fryer basket. Make sure to arrange them in a single layer, giving them space to expand. Air fry them for 10-12 minutes. Halfway through, flip the bagels to ensure they achieve that golden brown on both sides.

Step 6: Let Them Cool

  • Once they're done, carefully remove them from the air fryer (they’ll be hot!). Allow your bagels to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. This makes them easier to handle and allows some of that steam to escape.

Notes

  • Use high-quality yogurt: The better the yogurt, the tastier the bagels will be.
  • Don’t over-knead the dough: Just knead until ingredients are combined; we don’t want a tough bagel.
  • Test the air fryer: Because air fryers differ, watch your bagels towards the end of the cooking time to ensure they don’t overcook.
  • Experiment with flavors: Try adding herbs like chives or cheese directly into the dough for a different taste.
  • Cool before slicing: Wait a few minutes before cutting your bagels. This will help maintain their structure.
