How to Make Delicious Two-Ingredient Bagels (No Yeast, No Fuss!)
Preheat: Firstly, set your air fryer to 350°F (or preheat your oven to 375°F).
Make the Dough: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup self-rising flour with 1/3 cup Greek yogurt until a dough forms. Gently knead the dough until everything is well combined.
Shape the Bagels: Then, shape the dough into a circle, creating a hole in the center.
Brush (Optional): If you’d like a classic golden finish on your bagels, you can brush the tops with whisked egg whites. Next, you can top the bagel off with everything but the bagel seasoning.
Bake: Now, place the bagels in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Make the Spread: While the bagels are baking, mix 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 tsp olive oil, onion powder, garlic paste, and salt/pepper in a high speed blender, and blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve: Finally, once the bagels are done, spread the creamy cottage cheese mixture on top and enjoy!

Self-rising flour is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which makes it ideal for recipes like these bagels that don’t require yeast. It’s a convenient option for quick breads and baked goods! You can buy it at any of your local grocery stores. I use the Gold Medal brand.
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.
