FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, but you’ll need to add baking powder and salt to mimic self-rising flour. A general ratio is 1 cup flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
You can bake the mini bagels in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Ingredients
Bagel Dough
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Topping
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Mix well until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.
- Shape Mini Bagels: Divide the dough into small portions (about 8-10 pieces). Roll each piece into a ball, then use your finger to make a hole in the center of each ball, gently stretching it into the shape of a mini bagel.
- Apply Egg Wash and Season: Lightly brush each mini bagel with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the top to add flavor and texture.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the mini bagels in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini bagels from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh or with your favorite spreads.
Notes
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, use a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and salt.
- Make sure the air fryer is preheated to get the best crispy exterior.
- Mini bagels are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
