Ingredients
  

Dough & Filling
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour (with xanthan gum) plus extra for dusting
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt full fat or 2%, must be thick
  • 4 oz Cream cheese cold, cut into 10 small cubes
Topping
  • 1 large Egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 2 tbsp Everything bagel seasoning

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Cut the cold cream cheese into 10 equal, small cubes. Place them on a plate in the refrigerator to keep cold while you make the dough.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  3. Add the thick Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky. If it's too sticky, add a sprinkle of extra flour.
  5. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
  6. Flatten one dough portion into a small disc in the palm of your hand. Place a cold cream cheese cube in the center. Fold the edges up and tightly pinch the seams to seal the cream cheese inside. Roll gently into a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
  7. Brush the tops and sides of each dough ball generously with the beaten egg wash.
  8. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning heavily over the egg-washed balls, pressing slightly so it sticks.
  9. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Place the mini bagels in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each. Cook in batches if necessary.
  11. Air fry for 9 to 11 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and puffed up.
  12. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes before serving, as the cream cheese center will be very hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness.
