FAST, VEGETARIAN
Who knew that making homemade bagels could be so easy? Simple to make with only a handful of ingredients, these blueberry bagels are the perfect way to start the day. Make enough for a single morning or double your batch and have enough for the whole weekend. Use any dried fruit you prefer in these bagels or leave out the fruit for an excellent plain bagel. You can also coat the bagels with your favorite toppings before baking them, using poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and more. There's even an everything bagel spice mix available in some supermarkets and online.
MAKES 2 BAGELS
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 10 minutes
BAKE: 330°F
½ cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup dried blueberries
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 . In a large bowl, combine the flour and yogurt. Stir together with a wooden spoon until a tacky dough forms.
2 . Transfer to a lightly floured flat work surface, and roll the dough into a ball.
3 . Flatten the dough slightly, and sprinkle the dried blueberries on top.
4 . Knead the dough to work in the blueberries throughout.
5 . Cut the dough into 2 pieces, and roll each piece into a log. Form each log into a bagel shape, pinching the ends together.
6 . In a small bowl, combine the egg and water, whisking well.
7 . Place the bagels in the fryer basket, and brush with the prepared egg wash.
8 . Bake for 10 minutes.
9 . Remove from the air fryer, brush with the melted butter, and serve warm.
Ingredient tip: These bagels are done when they are lightly golden on the outside. I don’t recommend using fresh berries in these bagels. Fresh berries tend to burst in the kneading process, and this not only alters the color but adds too much moisture to the dough, causing it to bake unevenly.
