Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 6 cups warm water, divided
  • 2-¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 2-½ cups all-purpose flour, divided plus more for kneading
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, add 1 cup of warm water, the yeast, and 1-½ tablespoons of sugar. Stir gently. Let stand for 5 minutes or until foam and bubbles form.
  • In a large bowl, add 2-¼ cups of flour and the salt. Gradually stir in the water mixture. Continue mixing until a soft dough forms. Fold in the blueberries.
  • Spread ½ cup of flour onto a work surface and gently knead the dough just until it firms up and is elastic.
  • In another bowl, lightly oil the bowl and add the dough. Cover with a clean cloth and place in a warm, undisturbed spot for an hour. The dough will double in size.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Using your thumb, punch and smooth a hole into the center of the dough ball.
  • Place the dough rings on a baking sheet, cover, and let rest for 25 minutes.
  • Add a piece of parchment paper to the bottom of the air fryer basket. Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add 8 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bring to a boil.
  • When the dough is finished proofing, carefully dunk one bagel into the boiling water bath for 3 minutes minutes. Using a strainer with a handle, transfer the boiled bagel to the air fryer basket. Repeat with one more bagel.
  • Air fry bagels for 10 minutes, turning over at 6 minutes. Bagels should be golden brown. Transfer the bagels to a serving plate. Repeat the boiling and air-frying steps with the remaining bagels.
  • Serve warm with cream cheese or your other favorite toppings.
