Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour like King Arthur’s, offering a fantastic gluten-free texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder provides rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt enhances flavors.
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt adds moisture.
Topping Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning adds flavor.
  • Olive oil spray, egg white, or water to help the seasoning stick.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and mix well using a fork until you achieve a thick, slightly wet, and chunky dough.
  3. Knead the dough for about a minute until smooth, sprinkling flour as needed.
  4. Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop and roll the dough into balls, placing them on a plate.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly spray or brush bagel balls with olive oil or other alternatives, then roll in Everything bagel seasoning.
  3. Spray the air fryer basket and arrange bagels in a single layer, spaced about an inch apart.
  4. Cook for 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness at 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a plate and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
