If you use Self-Rising Flour, these bagels in the Air fryer need only 3 ingredients. It’s expensive here in Canada and I know some of the readers don’t have access to it. So I used plain flour, baking powder, and salt to make these bagels. Unlike other recipes, I’ve also added Everything bagel seasoning to the dough so that the bagels have extra flavor, just like the Everything bagels we get here. You can make plain bagels without adding the seasoning to the dough. It’ll still be delicious.
These bagels get cooked in the Air fryer in 12 to 15 minutes. So easy and fast! Next time you get a craving for a bagel, you’re 15 minutes away from delicious homemade bagels.

Why We Love Bagels In Air Fryer:
- Quick and easy homemade bagels in just 15 minutes
- Taste amazing with the herbed cheese
- Great for breakfast or brunch
Ingredients For Air Fryer Bagels
- All Purpose Flour – Substitute with 1 cup of raising flour and only 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Omit the salt.
- Baking powder

What Is Everything Bagel Seasoning
It is a seasoning mix of six ingredients that you can sprinkle on anything, on bagels obviously and in avocado toast, eggs and salads . It’s nutty, garlicky, crunchy, and tastes amazing!
The popular brand is Trader Joes Everything Bagel Seasoning. You can also get it in stores like Costco and Walmart. I use Costco brand Everything seasoning.
If you’re unable to find it, you can try making your own. Here’s what you need:
- 2 teaspoons Black sesame seeds
- 4 teaspoons White sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons Dried garlic flakes
- 2 teaspoons Dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons Poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
Mix everything together in a jar and shake. Sprinkle on anything!
How To Make Air Fryer Everything Bagels
Scroll below for the printable recipe card and ingredient measurements.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and Everything seasoning. Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients.
Mix until a dough ball forms. Knead it for a few minutes. The dough will be a bit sticky. Transfer it to a floured surface. Cut the bagel dough into four equal-sized portions.
Roll each portion of dough into an 8-inch to 10-inch long rope. Dust the rope and surface with flour if needed. Take each rope and wet the ends with some water to seal them. Shape the bagel dough until you get a nice circular shape.
Beat the egg with a splash of water. Brush the bagel tops with the beaten egg. Sprinkle Everything seasoning on the bagels.
Preheat Air fryer at 300F for 3 minutes. Brush or spray the Air fryer basket with oil. Place the bagels carefully on the air fryer basket. Air fry bagels for 12 to 15 minutes until bagels have risen and tops are golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
How To Make Herbed Cream Cheese
These Air fryer everything bagels are so delicious, spread with herbed cream cheese. Here’s how to make it:
Whisk together cream cheese, chopped dill, and lemon juice until combined. Taste and add more lemon juice if needed. You can add chopped chives or parsley to this spread.
Air Fryer Bagel Topping Ideas
I love to make bagels with different toppings. My kids love it too and they use so many. For plain bagels, do not use Everything seasoning in the dough. Here are some of our favorite bagel toppings:
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Cheese – Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, Asiago cheese all taste great sprinkled on top
- Cinnamon sugar – make your bagels sweet by sprinkling coarse sugar mixed with some cinnamon

What is everything bagel seasoning
Where to buy
Hi Margo, Everything bagel seasoning is a seasoning mix of 6 ingredients: black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, flaked salt. It’s available in most stores like Walmart, Target, Costco etc.
This was so good. Wasn’t sure it would turn out. It was delicious. We used cream cheese salmon spread on them. Fantastic!
That’s amazing, Judy.Thanks for letting us know 🙂
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to freeze the dough prior to baking so that I could just prep them for later?
Hi Jakub, I freeze the finished bagels but have never frozen the dough. You could try freezing the dough and thawing in the fridge overnight. Let me know if you try it out.
