Easy Flatbread Recipe
Description
The Easy Flatbread Recipe starts with a simple dough of self-rising flour and natural yogurt, sometimes enriched with olive oil for added softness. After minimal kneading, the dough is divided and rolled into small rounds that are cooked in an air fryer at a moderate temperature. This method achieves a slightly crispy texture on the outside with a tender inside. The recipe encourages personalizing the flatbreads by adding herbs, spices, or seeds during rolling to incorporate flavor variations.
The preparation method focuses on keeping the dough manageable and the cooking process efficient by using the air fryer, which cooks the bread evenly and quickly while preventing over-browning. This makes the flatbreads suitable for serving alongside soups or stews, or as a base for toppings or dips. Optional toppings or mix-ins offer customization for different meals or taste preferences.
The recipe notes suggest experimenting with thickness and cooking time to achieve preferred textures, such as slightly crunchier bread by rolling thinner and cooking slightly longer. It also mentions adapting the recipe for larger batches with additional skillets to speed up cooking and advises on monitoring air fryer performance variations to adjust cooking time accordingly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup natural yogurt 250 g
- 2 tsp olive oil optional but recommended
- Optional add-in's
Instructions
- Mix the flour, yogurt and oil (and any other add-ins, if using) in a mixing bowl until combined.
- Add dough to a floured work surface with flour and knead for a minute so it comes together.
- Divide the bread dough into 8 and roll these sections into balls.
- Flatten each ball and then use a rolling pin to roll each piece into 3-4 inch (10-12 cm) rounds.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300F / 148C, spray on a little oil and add your flatbread.
- Place flatbread in the air fryer basket and cook each one for 8 to 9 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Sometimes they will puff up in the air fryer, so you may want to place a trivet on top to keep them flat and prevent them from being blown around.
- Repeat until all the flatbreads are cooked.
Notes
- Flavor the flatbreads individually by adding herbs or spices while rolling the dough for variety.
- Roll the dough thinner and cook longer in the air fryer for a crunchier flatbread texture.
- Prepare larger batches by doubling or tripling the ingredients and using multiple skillets or cooking vessels for efficiency.
- Adjust air fryer cooking times based on your specific model, starting with less time to avoid overcooking.
