Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread

Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread

Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread is a quick, yeast-free flatbread made using flour, yogurt, and baking powder. Instead of a pan or oven, it’s cooked in an air fryer, which provides consistent heat and gentle crisping while keeping the inside tender.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 150 g plain yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Extra flour, for dusting

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly so the baking powder is evenly distributed. This step is important for light, evenly puffed flatbreads.

Step 2: Add yoghurt and oil

Add the yoghurt and olive oil to the bowl. Stir with a spoon until a rough dough forms, then use your hands to bring everything together. The dough should feel soft and slightly tacky, not dry.

Step 3: Knead lightly

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1 minute, just until smooth. Avoid over-kneading, as this can make the flatbreads tough instead of soft.

Step 4: Rest the dough briefly

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. This short rest relaxes the dough, making it easier to roll out and improving the final texture.

Step 5: Divide and shape

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and roll out into round flatbreads about 12–14 cm wide and roughly 3 mm thick.

Step 6: Preheat the air fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 2–3 minutes. Lightly brush or spray the basket with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7: Cook the flatbreads

Place one flatbread into the air fryer basket. Cook for 4–5 minutes, flip carefully, then cook for another 3–4 minutes. The flatbread should puff slightly and develop light golden spots.

Step 8: Keep warm and repeat

Remove the cooked flatbread and wrap it in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, stacking them together to retain softness.
