How long to cook 2 ingredient bagels in air fryer?

You can make the bagels in an air fryer instead of the oven:

  • To cook 2 ingredient bagels in an air fryer, preheat the fryer to 375°F.
  • Place bagels on a greased rack or parchment paper and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • To ensure that the bagels are cooked all the way through, check for a golden-brown color and lightly press down to test for firmness before serving.

What Our Readers Think

These are DELICIOUS. My 13 and 11 year old granddaughters make them too, so easy to make!!!! I have made them as everything bagels, cinnamon raisin and also made them topped with shredded cheddar cheese. I no longer get store bought bagels. Glad I came across your recipe. Thank you so much.

Recipe Notes

  • You can make this dough and then refrigerate it for up to two days before forming the dough into bagels.
  • You'll need to let it come to room temperature first before attempting to form the dough.
  • This 2 ingredient dough can also be used to make bread sticks, pizza dough, flatbread; even pretzel bites!

📋Ingredients

Here's a quick overview of the ingredients for this recipe. Find the exact amounts and click the Instacart button to easily add them to your cart – all in the printable recipe card below!

  • Self-rising flour - you'll need extra flour for kneading, so keep the flour canister nearby.
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Egg Wash - you don't need to brush with an egg wash if you're just making them plain. But I like the look the egg wash gives to the bagels.

Toppings for Bagels

If you choose to use toppings, you'll need a beaten egg to brush on top of the bagels as well as your favorite toppings:

Recipe FAQ

Can you use regular yogurt?

No. You have to use Greek yogurt to make this dough or the dough won't be thick enough to form into bagels. Make sure you use Greek yogurt and not Greek style yogurt. If there is any liquid in the yogurt, drain the liquid off before adding it to the self-rising flour.

Step-by-Step Instructions

2 Ingredient Bagel Recipe (9)

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the flour and yogurt together. Turn it out onto a flour board or a piece of parchment paper. I found the parchment baking sheets to work better.

Step 2: The dough is very sticky, so make sure you flour your hands while kneading the dough together for about 5 minutes or until it's smooth and no longer sticky.

Step 3: The dough will not be like a traditional bread dough. It will still be a little tacky. Form the dough into a round and then proceed to cut the dough in half and then in half again until you have four even pieces.

Step 4: Shape each piece of dough into a long log about 4 to 6 inches long. Then make a circle pinching the ends together forming the bagel shape.

Step 5: Place each bagel on a baking sheet that's been lined with either Parchment Baking Sheets or a Silpat baking mat. Prepare the egg wash by beating together the egg with one teaspoon of water. Brush on top of each bagel and then add the preferred seasonings.

Add the Bagel Seasonings

Step 6: These bagels were brushed with an egg wash and then sprinkled with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning Mix. My family loved these!

Baking Instructions

Step 7: Bake the bagels in a preheated 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes. Then remove the bagels from the oven, turn the oven up to 425°F and bake the bagels for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until browned.

Storage Tips

Allow the bagels to cool completely before storing them to prevent condensation and sogginess.

Place the cooled bagels in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. If you're planning to eat them within a day or two, you can store them at room temperature.

If you want to keep them fresh for a longer period, refrigerate the bagels. They can stay fresh for up to 5 days when stored in the refrigerator.

Freezing Tips

If you'd like to save the bagels for later, make sure to tightly wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before putting them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Thawing and Reheating Tips

When you're ready to enjoy the bagels, you can thaw them at room temperature or toast them straight from the freezer.

Top Tip

Remember, homemade bagels are best enjoyed fresh. So try to consume them within a few days for the best taste and texture.
