How do you make yeast free bagels?
Preheat your air fryer.
In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, Greek yogurt and an egg with a silicone spatula.
As the dough begins to form, switch out the spatula for your clean hands.
Begin to knead the dough until you have a round ball of dough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle or two of flour.
Divide the dough into six equal parts with a knife.
Prepare your working surface. Add a sprinkle of flour to a cutting board.
Wet your hands with a little warm water to make it easier to work with the dough.
Pick up one of the six sections.
Roll the dough into a rope and pinch the ends to form a round circle.
Repeat until you have six bagels.
Spray each bagel with a little oil spray.
Sprinkle and gently press the sesame seeds into the top of each bagel.
Spray the air fryer basket with a little oil spray to keep the bagels from sticking.
Air fry the bagels at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes.
Cook them in two separate batches unless you have a very large air fryer.
Recipe pro-tips:
I recommend preheating your air fryer.
Properly measure flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.
If the dough is too sticky, just add some more flour.
Wetting your hands with a bit of warm water helps make it easier to work with the dough.
I recently purchased THIS AIR FRYER and I absolutely love it!

Hi.. Can I substitute almond flour for the brown flour... If so... Is it an equal swap?
No, they have very different textures.

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂

Hi what can I substitute the yogurt with.
I have a dairy intolerant.
You could try a dairy free Greek yogurt, but I'm not sure if it would produce the same results. I haven't tried for myself.
