Make delicious air fryer bagels easily at home with two ingredient dough (Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour) - no yeast or proofing required.  These soft and chewy bagels can be enjoyed as is, or fill them with eggs, bacon and cheese for a tasty breakfast sandwich.

Did you know can use two ingredient dough (Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour) to make simple and delicious homemade Air Fryer Bagels?  Well, now you do!    

I've always loved making No Yeast Bagels in the oven but I recently discovered they are even better in the air fryer!  Not only are the bagels ready faster (winning) but they also get a lovely colour and crust while maintaining their signature soft and chewy interior.  

I generally can't help myself and end up eating the bagels as they are the minute they get out of the air fryer, but they are great for breakfast sandwiches too.  

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE… 

  • Quick and easy.
  • Perfect weekend breakfast.
  • Great on its own or as a breakfast sandwich.

INGREDIENTS

Here’s what you’ll need to make these bagels (full measurements listed in the printable recipe card below)… 

  • Greek Yoghurt
  • Self-Raising / Self-Rising Flour – OR use a mix of all purpose / plain flour and baking powder instead.  You’ll need 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every cup of flour.  
  • Egg – for a simple egg wash for the topping.
  • Everything but the Bagel Seasoning – or you can use sesame seeds, poppy seeds or a mix of both.  

INSTRUCTIONS

Place Greek yoghurt in a mixing bowl and give it a stir. Add in 1 cup of flour and stir to combine. Gradually add in more flour until the dough starts to form into a ball.

Tip the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead with your hands for a minute or two. If the dough is still too sticky, add some more flour and continue to knead. The dough is ready when it is able to hold its shape and is not sticking to your hands or the surface.

Cut the dough into 6 even pieces, then roll out each piece into a long strip before combining the ends to make a circle.  Brush with egg wash, then sprinkle over everything but the bagel seasoning.

Place the bagels in an air fryer basket, leaving some space in between each bagel so it has some room to rise.  If you have a smaller basket-style air fryer you'll need to cook in 2 batches.  Cook on 180C / 350F for 7-10 minutes, until the bagels are golden and cooked through.

STORING BAGELS

These bagels are best served immediately after baking.  You can get away with baking them a few hours before, but they don’t store well overnight and unfortunately they don’t freeze well either.  

But given how easy they are to prepare and make, there’s really no need to make them too far ahead. 

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

  • Don't have an air fryer?  Make these in the oven instead following this recipe - No Yeast Bagels. 
  • Be sure to check out my two ingredient dough guide for all the tips and tricks for getting the dough right!
  • You want to work quickly with this dough – it tends to get stickier the longer it’s at room temperature so once you have the right consistency roll it out and shape it.
  • Feel free to double or triple the recipe for a crowd.  
  • The bagels expand during baking so don’t place them too close together in the air fryer basket.  If you have a smaller air fryer you'll need to cook in batches.  
  • Don't have everything but the bagel seasoning?  Try sesame seeds, poppy seeds or a combination of both instead.

Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe 🥜🥚🍫 : https://www.cookitrealgood.com/peanut-butter-eggs/

OR comment with "Peanut" and I'll DM you the link!

For me, this Peanut Butter Eggs recipe is a holiday staple—not just for Easter. It’s my ultimate comfort treat that shows up during every festive season, including the run-up to Christmas. I hope that’s not weird 😆😁.

They've got that nostalgic chocolate-peanut butter combo everyone loves, but with a homemade twist that makes them even better. Plus, you can dip and drizzle them in any chocolate you like—dark, white, milk—and decorate them to look just like colourful eggs.

Honestly, I first tried making these on a whim. A friend and I were having a lazy weekend baking session, and we had a jar of chocolate hazelnut spread lying around. We decided to see what happened if we added it to our brownie batter.

Ingredients:

100g brown sugar
50g granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
200g Nutella
¼ teaspoon salt
150g all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
100g dark chocolate chips

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe 🥬🍴: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts/

Still recovering from the nightmare of being force-fed stinky and bitter boiled brussels sprouts as a child?  Never fear - these Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon will turn even the most adamant brussels sprouts hater around.

Brussels sprouts really shine when oven roasted - crisp and caramelised on the outside and tender on the inside.  Not to mention how simple it is - throw everything on a tray in the oven for 25 minutes and voila!

Chicken Florentine

If you're craving a comforting, creamy dish, Chicken Florentine is the answer. Imagine golden-fried chicken smothered in a rich, garlic spinach cream sauce. The sauce is silky smooth, with just the right amount of tang from the Parmesan cheese and a burst of flavor from the fresh baby spinach.

Ingredients: 

For the chicken:

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil

For the sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Maybe it’s because of the cute color—my kids really love carrots. Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient.

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/

OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐

I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired.  This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own.  The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour.

It's on the table in 15 minutes.  Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes!  This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook.  But totally doable.

Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴

Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta.

Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this.

Here's what you'll need to make this recipe:

8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion)
¼ cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons vodka (optional)
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tablespoon butter
A handful of fresh basil for garnish

OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗

This is a solid foundation of a bagel. Everything bagels are my favorite so I was thrilled as was, but also look forward to trying a few other flavors like fruit-based, cinnamon raisin, or cheese
