Can I use regular flour?

Oh honey, I've been there - staring at an empty self-rising flour canister at 7am. Technically yes, but you'll need to add 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt per cup of all-purpose. It works, but the texture isn't quite as magical. Consider it the emergency backup plan!

Absolutely! Here's my trick: freeze the shaped, uncooked dough rings on a baking sheet first (so they don't stick together), then transfer to a bag. When bagel cravings strike, just pop 'em straight from freezer to air fryer - add 2-3 extra minutes. Fresh bagels on demand!

Why is my dough so sticky?

Welcome to the club! Greek yogurts vary in thickness, and humidity plays tricks on us. Just sprinkle in extra flour a teaspoon at a time until it's workable. But go slow - too much and you'll end up with bagel-shaped rocks. The dough should be tacky, not leave bits stuck to your fingers.
