Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with the yeast mixture, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Mini Bagels: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger and stretch to form a mini bagel shape.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush each mini bagel lightly with the egg wash for a shiny golden crust after cooking.
- Air Fry the Bagels: Place the mini bagels in the air fryer basket making sure they don’t touch. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the bagels turn golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway if needed for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite spreads or toppings.
Notes
- You can add toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning before air frying for extra flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
- If desired, boil the bagels for 30 seconds on each side in simmering water before air frying to mimic traditional bagel texture.
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
