Calories: 295, Protein: 30g, Carbs: 35g, Fat: 3.2g

Ingredients

  • Dry Ingredients
  • 140g Vital Wheat Gluten flour

  • 140g all purpose unbleached white flour (can use whole wheat or spelt flour)

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (or use any other herbs of your choice)

  • Wet Ingredients:
  • 150g unsweetened Vegan soy yogurt (or can use Greek)

  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp water (adjust as needed)

  • 4-6 sprays of Avocado oil

Directions

  • Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix with a spatula until well combined.
  • In the same bowl, add the vegan soy yogurt and water. Use your hands to knead the dough until it comes together. Be careful not to over-knead. Dough will be a little sticky but shouldn’t be too wet.
  • Lightly flour a clean countertop, then transfer the dough onto it. Divide the dough evenly into 4 parts. Shape each piece into a round ball by gently pressing down. Use your finger or a spoon to create a hole in the center, then stretch the dough outward to form a bagel shape. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly shaped—rustic is good!
  • Lightly brush the tops of the bagels with avocado oil, then press on some “Everything Bagel” seasoning or any toppings you like.
  • Transfer the bagels to your air fryer basket. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 13–15 minutes, depending on your air fryer model. If you don’t have any air fryer, Pre-heat Oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 13-15 minutes, depending on your oven.
  • Once air-fried, place the bagels on a cooling rack and let them cool completely for at least 15 minutes. Then slice, toast, and enjoy with your favorite toppings!

  1. I don’t have an air fryer can I bake them in the oven? What temp and how long?

  2. Do you have any substitutions for the vegan yogurt? I can’t find any unsweet varieties around me. Would soy milk work?

    • Hi Andrea, Unfortunately I haven’t tried this recipe with Vegan Yogurt. I’m sure just using unsweetened milk will work but might change the texture of the bagels a bit.
