Garlic flatbreads are a quick and delicious side dish, perfect for serving with dips, curries, or just enjoyed on their own. The air fryer makes these soft, pillowy flatbreads even easier to prepare, cutting down on cooking time while still delivering that perfect golden, garlicky flavor. This recipe is simple, and you can customize it by adding herbs or spices to suit your taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional for extra garlic flavor)
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Make the dough:
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with your hands or a spoon until it comes together as dough. Add the olive oil and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth. - Divide the dough:
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten them out into small discs, about 5-6 inches in diameter. Use flour to prevent sticking. - Prepare the garlic butter:
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Mix well. - Cook the flatbreads:
Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). Place the flatbreads in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. - Finish with garlic oil:
Once the flatbreads are cooked, brush them immediately with the garlic oil mixture while still hot. If you like, you can also sprinkle fresh parsley for extra flavor and color. - Serve and enjoy:
Serve the garlic flatbreads warm as a side with your favorite dishes or enjoy them on their own!
These air fryer garlic flatbreads are soft, slightly chewy, and full of flavor. The air fryer really gives them that perfect crispness without needing to fry them in a pan, making it a healthier, faster alternative.
