Ingredients
For the Flatbread:
- Self-raising flour (200g): Provides a light, fluffy texture.
- Greek yogurt (200g): Adds moisture, tang, and richness.
- Baking powder (1/2 tsp): Adds extra lift, especially if using plain flour.
- Salt (a pinch): Enhances the flavor of the flatbread.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Garlic powder (1/2 tsp): For a garlic flavor.
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or rosemary): Adds freshness and color.
- Olive oil (for brushing): Gives a golden finish and enhances flavor.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix until a dough forms, then knead it lightly on a floured surface until smooth. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Step 2: Divide and Shape the Dough
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each ball out into a flat round, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Cook the Flatbreads
- Place one or two flatbreads (depending on the size of your air fryer) in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the flatbreads are golden and puffed up. Flip halfway through for even browning.
- Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
Step 5: Brush with Olive Oil (Optional)
- For extra flavor and a golden finish, brush the warm flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs, garlic powder, or sea salt if desired.
Step 6: Serve Warm
- Serve the flatbreads warm, with dips like hummus, tzatziki, or as a side with your favorite meal.
