Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and salt.
- Add in the yogurt and mix the dough using a fork, hands, or rubber spatula until wet but still slightly crumbly.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead into a smooth ball.
- Separate the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a 5-6 inch long, 3/4 inch wide log, forming a circle by pinching the ends together.
Egg Wash and Cooking
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk with some water and brush the egg wash over each bagel.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and spray the basket with olive oil spray.
- Place the formed bagels into the air fryer in a single layer, about 2 inches apart and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Check the bagels at around 8-9 minutes to ensure they do not get too golden brown.
Serving
- Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with cream cheese, butter, or jam.
