Ingredients
- Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Greek Yogurt
- Warm Water
- Olive Oil
- Toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and warm water until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Step 2: Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle additional flour as needed. Divide the dough into equal portions—about six small balls will work well.
- Step 3: Shape the Bagels: Roll each dough ball into a log shape approximately six inches long. Pinch both ends together to form a circle. Ensure there are no cracks in the dough to maintain its shape during cooking. Repeat this process for all pieces of dough.
- Step 4: Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). While it's heating up, place your shaped bagels onto parchment paper or a silicone mat. If desired, brush each bagel lightly with olive oil and sprinkle your favorite toppings on top.
- Step 5: Air Fry the Bagels: Carefully place the bagels in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Step 6: Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with cream cheese or your favorite spreads!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your mini bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage. To reheat, simply pop the bagels in the air fryer for a few minutes at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through, which will help restore their crispness. Serve these delightful bagels warm with a generous spread of cream cheese and your choice of toppings like smoked salmon or fresh herbs for an elevated brunch experience. When shaping the bagels, ensure you pinch the ends well to avoid any cracks during cooking; this will help maintain their beautiful round shape.
