Air Fryer Garlic Flatbreads

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt (to taste, for sprinkling on top)

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the olive oil and warm water, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
   • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3-4 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil (about 1 tablespoon), chopped parsley, and oregano or Italian seasoning, if using. Set aside.
3. Shape the Flatbreads:
   • Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4-6 equal portions (depending on the size of flatbreads you prefer).
   • Roll each portion into a ball and then roll them out on a floured surface into thin circles or ovals (about 6-7 inches in diameter).
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Cook the Flatbreads:
   • Lightly brush the flatbread with the garlic butter mixture on both sides.
   • Place the flatbreads in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer). Air fry at 375°F for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
6. Serve:
   • Once the flatbreads are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and brush with any remaining garlic butter.
   • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt if desired and serve immediately.

Tips:

• You can experiment with adding grated cheese to the dough for a cheesy garlic flatbread or sprinkle some over the top before air frying.
• For a bit of heat, you can add some red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
• These flatbreads are perfect for dipping into hummus, tzatziki, or as a side with your favorite meal.
