♨️ Preparing Za’atar & Beet Bagel :

1. Knead the dough by combining all the above ingredients
2. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, wherein take part & add grinded beetroot & knead well
3. Now slightly coat oil to both doughs & let it proof for 2 hours or until its risen double in size
4. Once proofed knead both doughs separately for 30 secs to release air & make 4 equal balls from each dough
5. To shape bagels, form a ring, keep hole an inch long since while proofing it will narrow down
6. Repeat this step for all the balls & proof for another 45 mins
7. Fill ¾ of a wok with water & salt, once its boiled, add 2 to 3 balls at a time
8. Cook 3 mins each side & gently remove on parchment paper to remove excess water
9. In a small bowl combine seeds, dunk bagels into it then place on tray to bake
10. Preheat air fryer @ 150° C for 5 mins
11. Place bagels & bake @ 140° C for 15-20 mins, flip half-way through & remove on wired rack to cool slightly

🍽 Assembling Za’atar & Beet Bagel :

1. Take a serving plate and serve bagels warm with a dollop of yogurt or spread some cheese
2. Well, I like having Bagel’s pizza so cut the bagel into 2 halves, spread some dip evenly
3. Now put cheese and arrange bell peppers, top with cheese and condiments
4. Air fry @ 140° C for 10 mins and serve them warm or at room temperature 😋
