3 Ingredient Bagels

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with olive oil or cooking spray.

2. 2

   Mix the flour, baking powder, yogurt, and salt (if using) in a large bowl until a crumbly dough forms. Don’t overmix. Knead lightly with your hand a few times to bring it together, making sure that the flour and yogurt are evenly combined. The dough will be a little sticky.

3. 3

   You can add a little more flour if you feel it’s needed, but just add a small amount, about 1 tablespoon at a time.

4. 4

   Coat your hands with a little flour as you work to keep the dough from sticking to them.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll into balls, then roll each ball into a log, about 8 inches long, and form a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. The bagels expand when they bake so make sure they have plenty of room, about 2 inches apart, or they’ll stick together.

6. 6

   Optional: Brush with egg and sprinkle with seasoning.

Oven

1. 1

   Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Air fryer

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 350° F. Once preheated, gently place the formed bagels in the air fryer basket (they can be placed on a parchment paper liner that’s sprayed with olive oil or nonstick spray if desired), leaving enough room between the bagels for the to expand, about 2 inches apart. Don’t crowd the air fryer. Cook the bagels in batches.

2. 2

   Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

3. 3

   Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and topping them.
