Is there a better breakfast food than an everything bagel? Lightly toasted on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, and with a generous slather of cream cheese [1] on top, it's pure comfort food. And even though pancakes are amazing [2], there's nothing quite like a warm bagel first thing in the morning.

Let's be honest, though. Making homemade bagels has always seemed like an impossible task that requires a lot of bread-making know-how. Well, newsflash: not anymore. If you happen to have the magical appliance that is the air fryer [3] (and if you don't, I ten-out-of-ten recommend you buy one), you can now make a bagel from scratch, using less than five ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen already. Sprinkle a little bit of Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning [4], or any other topping of your choice, and delight the whole family with your in-house creation.
