Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low-carb option)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (or low-fat)
1 large egg (optional, for egg wash)
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, everything bagel seasoning, minced garlic, or grated cheese.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using an air fryer, set it to 280°F (140°C).
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour until it becomes easier to handle.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 6 inches long, then connect the ends to form a ring. Repeat with the remaining portions.
Optional Egg Wash: Brush the bagels with a beaten egg if you want a golden, shiny finish.
Bake: Place the bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Air Fry Option: Alternatively, place the bagels in an air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded, and air fry at 280°F (140°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Cool: Let the bagels cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can experiment with different toppings, such as sesame seeds or poppy seeds, for a flavor boost.
If you’re in a rush, use an air fryer for quicker results.
To make the bagels gluten-free, swap out the all-purpose flour for almond flour.
