Cheddar Bagels
These savory cheddar bagels are fluffy, cheesy, and so simple to make with just a few pantry staples, no yeast or rising time needed! They bake up golden with melty cheese in every bite and a garlicky kick that pairs perfectly with butter, cream cheese, or just on their own.
Servings: 8 mini bagels
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1½ cups self-rising flour see notes above on how to make your own self-rising flour if needed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, divided ¾ cup for dough + ¼ cup for top
- 1 egg for egg wash (or swap with milk for egg-free)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, garlic powder, and ¾ cup cheese. Stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Once it starts to combine, use your hands to knead it until a soft dough forms. It will seem very dry initially, but continue mixing and lightly kneading with your hands until the flour is incorporated.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a log (about 8 in long), then join the ends and pinch to form a bagel shape.
- Place the bagels in an air fryer basket with some space between each bagel (you may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer). Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Brush each bagel with egg wash and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup cheddar on top.
- Air fry the bagels at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
- Let them cool completely before serving. This helps them firm up and prevents a gummy center.
