Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour A fantastic substitution for a light and fluffy dough.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder For perfect rise and texture.
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Enhances flavor.
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Binds the dough, giving a moist and chewy texture.
Topping Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning Adds an aromatic and flavorful crunch.
- Olive oil spray, egg white, or water For coating the bagels.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the gluten-free flour with baking powder and salt to create self-rising flour. Add the plain Greek yogurt and mix until a thick, slightly wet dough forms.
- Sprinkle flour on your hands and on the dough to prevent sticking. Knead the dough in the bowl for about a minute until it forms a smooth ball.
Shaping
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for another minute. Scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on a plate. Repeat until all dough is formed into mini bagels.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once heated, lightly coat each dough ball with olive oil spray, egg white, or water. Roll in Everything bagel seasoning.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and place the bagels spaced apart. Cook for 10-12 minutes, checking at 10 minutes for doneness.
- Transfer cooked bagels back to a plate and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
Serving
- Serve the mini bagels warm with butter or cream cheese.
Notes
Use extra flour to avoid sticky hands. Experiment with different seasonings. Adjust yogurt and flour as needed for dough consistency.
