Got this recipe from a friend who found it on line at Skinny Taste, and knew we just had to try it! AFter making donut holes in the air fryer, why not bagels!
Bagel buns 
Bagel buns
We had a friday night meal on deck, meatless meat tubes!
But we had no buns, so i decided to rework the recipe to made “bagel” dogs for dinner! I have not enjoyed these as just bagels but as a bread item, delightful!
Notes
I made “hotdog buns” the first night in the air frier and then sunday night i made “hamburger buns” in the oven! Very versatile and yummy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (5 oz) unbleached all purpose flour, whole wheat or gluten-free mix*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 egg white, beaten (whole egg works fine too)
Instructions
Oven Method:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Place parchment paper or a silpat on a baking sheet. If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
- Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 15 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
- Divide into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels. (or you can make a ball and poke a hole in the center then stretch it slightly)
- Top with egg wash and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice. Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.
Air Fryer Method:
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
- Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 20 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
- Divide into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels.
- Top with egg wash and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice.
- Preheat the air fryer 280F degrees. Transfer in batches without overcrowding and bake 15 to 16 minutes, or until golden. No need to turn. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.
Verdict:
Great recipe, versatile – oven, air fryer. Round, oblong… whatever! It’s all great and all delightful!
Definitely use fresh baking soda to get the most bang!
