What to Serve With Bagels
Air Fryer Bagels
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup warm water (about 100-110°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- toppings of your choice (flake sea salt, sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, etc)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and brown sugar.
- Next, add the flour and salt and stir the dough together using a dough whisk or wooden spoon. You can also do this in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook if you prefer.
- Once a shaggy dough forms, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and only slightly sticky to the touch.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and set it aside to rise for one hour.
- After the dough has risen, divide it into 4 and shape into balls.
- Poke a hole through the center of each ball to create the traditional bagel shape.
- Bring a large pot of water (about 4 quarts) to a boil. Add the honey and stir to combine.
- Boil the bagels, one at a time, for 30 seconds per side. Then remove the bagels and place them on a sheet of parchment paper that has been lined with nonstick spray.
- Lightly spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Add the bagels to the basket, making sure not to overcrowd them.
- Beat the egg with a small splash of water (about 1 tablespoon) to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of each bagel and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
- Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
