Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add the sugar, yeast and water. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes. Frothy bubbles should form.

Add flour and salt and stir lightly for 1 minute. Then using your hands, lightly knead the dough. Roll the dough into itself and place in an oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let dough rise for 1 hour.

Once dough is doubled in size cut into 8 even pieces. Form each dough into a ball by tucking in the edges of the cuts and rounding out on a flat surface.

Using your floured thumb and middle finger, create a hole in the center of the bagel and then lightly stretch the hole open about an inch.

Get a pot of water to boiling and the lower the heat to low. Bath each bagel in the hot water for 1-2 minutes on each side. The longer the bagel soaks, the chewier the result.

Season the bagels with 1 TBSP of the Everything Bagel seasoning.

Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place bagels in and cook on 350 for 8 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Yeast Activation Magic 🧪
Activate your yeast in warm water (110-115°F) with a pinch of sugar to ensure maximum rising potential and a perfectly fluffy bagel texture.
Seasoning Density Technique 🌪️
Press the everything bagel seasoning firmly into the dough surface to create a dense, even coating that won't fall off during air frying.
Humidity Control Pro 💨
Lightly mist your bagels with water before air frying to create a crisp exterior and prevent the dough from drying out during cooking.
Perfectly Shaped Rings 🥯
Create bagel shapes by rolling dough into a rope and connecting the ends, then gently rotate and stretch to ensure uniform thickness and professional appearance.
Air Fryer Positioning Hack 📐
Leave at least half an inch of space between bagels in the air fryer basket to allow proper hot air circulation and achieve an evenly golden-brown crust.
