Total Time:

• Preparation Time: 10-15 minutes
• Rolling and Prepping Time: 5-10 minutes
• Air Frying Time: 6-10 minutes (depending on batch size)
• Total Time: 25-35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or your favorite dried herbs)
• Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Melted butter or extra olive oil (for brushing)

Equipment:

• Mixing bowl
• Rolling pin
• Air fryer
• Pastry brush

Instructions:

Preparation (10-15 minutes):

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a bit more yogurt.
2. Rest the Dough:
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Rolling Out the Flatbreads (5-10 minutes):

1. Divide and Roll:
   • Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions. Lightly flour a surface and use a rolling pin to roll each portion into a flat round or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Prepare Garlic Oil:
   • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
3. Brush the Flatbreads:
   • Brush each flatbread with the garlic oil mixture on both sides.

Air Frying the Flatbreads (6-10 minutes):

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Cook the Flatbreads:
   • Place 1-2 flatbreads in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Air fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy on the edges.
3. Repeat:
   • Repeat the process with the remaining flatbreads. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.

Finishing Touches (2-3 minutes):

1. Brush with Butter:
   • Once the flatbreads are done, brush them with melted butter or a little extra olive oil for extra flavor and a glossy finish.
2. Garnish:
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve warm with hummus, tzatziki, or your favorite dip.
• Use as a base for flatbread pizzas, topped with cheese, meats, and veggies.
• Pair with soups, stews, or curries for a hearty side.
