Air fryer garlic flatbreads are quick, easy, and absolutely delicious! Here’s a simple recipe for making them at home:
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
