Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe keeps it minimal, using everyday ingredients to deliver maximum flavor:
- All-purpose flour – the base of our flatbread
- Baking powder – for that soft, fluffy rise
- Salt – to enhance flavor
- Plain yogurt – adds moisture and tang
- Olive oil – keeps the dough tender
- Garlic cloves, minced – for bold, aromatic flavor
- Butter – melted, to brush over the bread
- Fresh parsley (optional) – adds a touch of color and freshness
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the plain yogurt and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead lightly with your hands until everything comes together.
3. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into equal portions (depending on how large or small you want your flatbreads). Roll each portion into a flat round, about 1/4-inch thick.
5. Make the Garlic Butter
Melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Brush one side of each flatbread round generously with this garlic butter mixture.
6. Air Fry to Perfection
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the flatbreads buttered side up in the air fryer basket (you may need to work in batches). Air fry for 5–6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Garnish & Serve
Once cooked, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dips, curries, or enjoy on its own!
