Best ways to enjoy it
These 2-Ingredient Bagels are incredibly versatile! Serve them warm with cream cheese and smoked salmon for a classic twist. You can also layer them with avocado and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a nutritious breakfast option. For a sweet treat, spread a touch of butter and cinnamon sugar on top, or even make mini sandwiches with your preferred fillings. The possibilities are endless!
Storage and reheating tips
To keep your bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you have leftovers, they can be frozen for longer storage. Simply place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and they’ll last for about a month. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for a few minutes to regain that freshly baked texture.
Helpful cooking tips

- If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour while kneading.
- Experiment with different toppings to discover flavors you love—everything from sesame seeds to everything bagel seasoning can enhance your bagel experience.

Want to switch things up? Here are some fun variations to try:
- Replace the self-rising flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
