Here’s a clean, reliable air fryer flatbread recipe you can repeat anytime—soft inside, lightly crisp outside.
🫓🔥 Air Fryer Flatbread
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (all-purpose or atta)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- ~¾ cup warm water
👨🍳 Method
1. Make dough
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Add oil, then slowly add warm water. Knead 6–8 minutes until soft and smooth.
2. Rest
Cover and rest for 15–20 minutes (this keeps it soft).
3. Roll
Divide into balls and roll into thin circles (like roti or naan).
4. Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 180°C
- Cook 1–2 flatbreads at a time
- 3 minutes, flip, then 2–3 minutes more
5. Finish
Brush with butter or garlic butter and keep covered so they stay soft.
🔑 Tips
- Don’t make dough too stiff → causes dry flatbread
- Roll evenly → cooks properly
- Don’t overcook → they go crunchy fast in air fryer
🍽️ Easy upgrades
- Garlic butter version
- Cheese-stuffed flatbread
- Herb (oregano/coriander) flatbread
- Brush with olive oil + chili flakes after cooking
