1. My dough is really sticky. What should I do?

Gluten-free dough, especially one made with yogurt, can be a bit sticky. Don't be afraid to be generous with the gluten-free flour on your hands and your work surface. This will make it much easier to handle and knead into a smooth ball without it sticking to everything.

2. Can I use something other than Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt provides both the moisture and acidity needed for a tender, fluffy bagel. If you need a dairy-free option, a thick, plain, unsweetened coconut or almond-based yogurt can work, though the texture might be slightly different. Regular yogurt is too thin and will make the dough too wet.

3. How can I be sure my bagels are cooked through?

Air fryers cook quickly, but a golden-brown top doesn't always guarantee a perfectly cooked center. If you find your bagels are browning too fast, you can lower the temperature slightly to 330°F (165°C) and add another minute or two to the cooking time. Letting them cool for 5-10 minutes on the counter is also important, as they will continue to set up on the inside from the residual heat.

Instructions

1. Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and frothy egg white. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.

2. Knead and Divide: Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently into a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.

3. Shape the Bagels: Roll each piece into a 5-6 inch rope. Connect the ends to form a circle, pinching them firmly to seal.

4. Add Toppings: Brush the tops with melted butter or oil spray and sprinkle generously with your desired toppings.

5. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Spray the basket, place the bagels in a single layer, and cook for about 10 minutes, checking at the 8-minute mark, until golden brown.

6. Cool and Serve: Let the bagels cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. They will continue to set as they cool.

Notes

Storage: Store cooled bagels in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freezing: Wrap cooled bagels individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to one month.

Sticky Dough: Don’t be afraid to use extra gluten-free flour on your work surface and hands if the dough is too sticky. It’s a normal consistency for this recipe.
