This recipe is from Gina at Skinnytaste. I had made them once before and they were good but I used whole wheat flour. This time I made them with unbleached all-purpose flour and they came out so much better! Each recipe makes 4 bagels and for those following Weight Watchers and counting points, each bagel is only 3 Freestyle points! I put 2 tablespoons of greek style cream cheese for a total of 2 points, making the whole bagel 5 points! Amazing, since a normal bagel is 9-11 points, plain! So thank you to Skinnytaste for this delicious recipe! I used an “everything” seasoning (recipe to follow) on them but you can use whatever you like.
These are really easy to make and have only 5 ingredients! I made mine in my Air Fryer and they came out great! I love my Air Fryer. I have a GoWise USA fryer in purple. But they can easily be made in the oven as well, they just take longer. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (you can use whole wheat or gluten-free if you want)
2 teaspoons baking powder (make sure it’s not expired)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt ( I used Fage, but use whatever you like, just don’t use regular yogurt, it can get too sticky)
1 egg beaten (or egg white if you choose)
AIR FRYER DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the air fryer to 325ºF and set for 11-12 minutes. (My machine only had 320 or 330 so I set it for 330)
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well.
- Add the yogurt and mix with a fork until well combined. It should look like small crumbles.
- Place the down on a lightly dusted work area and need it a bit until it is tacky but not sticky. About 15-20 turns, the dough should come off your hands easily.
- Divide the dough into four equal balls, rolling each ball into 3/4 inch thick ropes and join the ends to make the bagel shape.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg and coat the top and bottom with your seasonings.
- Once the air fryer is heated, spray a little cooking spray on bottom of pan and transfer the bagels in batches but don’t overcrowd. I put 3 in at a time. If I had put all 4 in they would have been too crowded.
- Bake/Fry for 11-12 minutes. I put mine in for 12 minutes, 11 was good but the dough inside was still a little tacky. So 12 minutes worked for me. They should be golden brown. There is no need to turn them over either.
- Let cool at least 10 minutes or more before cutting, they will firm up when cooled.
OVEN DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and spray with oil to avoid sticking. (you can also use a silpat if you have one)
- Follow steps 2-6 as above.
- Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.
