Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour (such as King Arthur’s)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Coating Ingredients:
- Olive oil spray
- Egg white
- Water
Instructions
- Prepare a mixture of gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt to construct a homemade self-rising flour blend in a medium mixing bowl.
- Gently fold Greek yogurt into the flour mixture using a fork, creating a slightly sticky dough with occasional texture variations.
- Dust hands with flour and tenderly knead the dough within the bowl for approximately 60 seconds until achieving a cohesive consistency.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and continue hand-kneading for an additional minute to enhance smoothness.
- Portion the dough into 12-13 uniform mini bagel shapes, each weighing around , carefully rolling them into smooth spheres and positioning on a clean plate.
- Configure the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to reach optimal temperature.
- Delicately brush each dough sphere with olive oil or water, then generously coat with Everything bagel seasoning to enhance flavor profile.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking, then arrange bagels in a single layer with approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) spacing between each.
- Cook the mini bagels for 10-12 minutes, conducting a doneness check by splitting one open at the 10-minute mark to verify internal completion.
- Remove bagels from the air fryer and permit them to rest for five minutes, allowing slight cooling before serving alongside preferred accompaniments like butter or cream cheese.
Notes
- Customize your mini bagels with different seasonings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or cinnamon sugar for a unique twist.
- Ensure the dough is well-kneaded to create a smooth, elastic texture that helps the bagels hold their shape during air frying.
- Experiment with gluten-free flour blends to find the perfect combination that yields a soft, chewy interior and crispy exterior.
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
- To prevent sticking, use parchment paper or lightly grease the air fryer basket before placing the bagels inside.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer’s performance and the size of your mini bagels for optimal results.
