How To Make Air Fryer FlatBread

  1. Mix the flour and yogurt and oil (and any other add-ins, if using) in a mixing bowl until combined.
  2. Add dough to a floured work surface with flour and knead for a minute so it comes together. Use a little oil on the work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
  3. Divide the bread dough into 8 and roll these sections into balls.
  4. Flatten each ball and then use a rolling pin to roll each piece into 3-4 inch (10-12cm) rounds.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 300F / 148C, spray on a little oil and add your flatbread.
  6. 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.
  7. Repeat until all the flatbreads are cooked.

Yogurt Bread Recipe Tips

  • I prefer my yogurt flatbread with slightly crunchy edges, so I roll them out thinner and then air fry for a little longer.
  • You can easily double or triple the recipe, then air fry in batches and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Cook time depends on the thickness and size of the rolled doughso start out with less time if you are unsure and increase accordingly.
  • It’s important to note that air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model.

FAQs

How to heat flatbread in an air fryer? ›

Air Fryer

Wrap the flatbreads or pitas in aluminum foil to prevent them from becoming too crispy. Set the air fryer to 380°F and heat for about 3-5 minutes. This method evenly warms the bread while maintaining its texture, making it perfect for parties or family dinners.

Can you bake flatbread instead of frying? ›

Bake in the oven: Cooking the flatbread in a skillet allows you to add some oil, which makes them a little softer. That said, you can bake these in the oven. We recommend a 400°F oven. Bake them until puffed and starting to brown about 10 minutes.

Can I prove bread dough in an air fryer? ›

Absolutely! Ninja air fryers work great for baking bread. Many of them have a setting for proving dough too.

How to toast flatbread at home? ›

Preheat the oven to 350F. Arrange flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread each flatbread with your magic touch and top with protein and 2 cups of fruit and veg. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.

Why won't my flatbread puff up? ›

Common issues for pita that does not puff up in the oven is the result of dough that is improperly proofed, dough that is too dry, dough that was not rolled thin enough or baking at too low of a temperature.

Can you put foil wrapped bread in the air fryer? ›

Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.

Why does my bread fly around in air fryer? ›

Because air fryers work by circulating hot air around the food with a powerful fan, lighter foods can end up flying around.

Can you use bread mix in an air fryer? ›

Paul has done it again, this time with our Cheddar & Sundried Tomato bread mix in a 3lb tin, using the whole 500g mix with 320ml of water in Air Fryer oven baked on 185 °C for 38mins. Lovely loaf Paul, looks very professional.

What is the difference between flatbread and loaf bread? ›

Naan is a flatbread, whereas bread comes in loaves. Naan is higher in fat, protein, and carbohydrates than loaf bread. The higher protein content of naan will allow you to feel fuller for longer and curve cravings.

What is difference between naan and flatbread? ›

Naan is another flatbread traditionally served in Indian restaurants but the difference is that there will already be a filling inside these flatbread pockets. Naan may be stuffed with curd, fresh desiccated coconut, butter, nigella seeds, and raisins.

Why are my flatbreads hard? ›

Developing the gluten too much will cause a tough loaf. It's hard to say many things could have gone wrong. In general, I would suggest not going by time but rather how much the dough has risen, 30 minutes seems kind of short. You generally let it rise until it doubles in volume, shape, then let rise again.

Can you heat pita bread in an air fryer? ›

Place one or two slices of pita into the basket and avoid the temptation of overcrowding your air-fryer, as this facilitates inconsistent warmth and texture. The entire process shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes, and flipping the bread halfway through will ensure that both sides are warmed to perfection.

Should flatbread be heated? ›

Serve the flatbreads while still soft and warm. Once cold, they won't be quite the same. But they can be recycled by tearing them into pieces, brushing with a little oil, then crisping them up in a hot oven (at 220°C/Gas Mark 7) to make dipping chips, or flat croûtons for soups and salads.

Can you heat naan bread in air fryer? ›

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray some olive oil to grease the air fryer basket. Sprinkle some water on the naan and place it in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
