1-First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper sprayed with oil. This sets the stage for even baking and prevents sticking. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to mix the dry ingredients well.

2-Next, add the Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir until it forms small crumbles, creating a workable dough. Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough about 15 times until it’s tacky but not sticky, which helps develop the texture. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls, roll each into ropes about 3/4 inch thick ATLAS, then form bagels by joining the ends or poking a hole in the center and stretching slightly.

3-Brush the tops with the beaten egg white and sprinkle on your desired toppings for that extra crunch. Bake the bagels on the top rack for 25 minutes until they’re golden brown. Let them cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to lock in the flavors.

4-For the air fryer approach, mix and knead the dough as described above, then shape into 4 bagels. Brush with egg white and add toppings just like in the oven method. Preheat your air fryer to 280°F (140°C) and bake the bagels for 15-16 minutes until they’re golden, without flipping for even cooking.

5-After baking, cool for at least 15 minutes before enjoying. This method is perfect for a quicker option, ideal for busy parents or travelers. Remember these tips: use a non-stick surface, space bagels well as they expand, and adjust flour or yogurt if the dough feels sticky.
