Ingredients (Makes 2–3 flatbreads):

½ cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ cup water (adjust to get pancake batter consistency)

1 tbsp plain yogurt (for softness)

1 tsp olive oil

1–2 garlic cloves, minced

½ tsp dried parsley or cilantro

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings:

Chili flakes

Extra herbs

Instructions:

Make the Liquid Dough (3 minutes)

In a mixing bowl:

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add yogurt, oil, and water gradually.

Whisk until you get a smooth, pourable batter (like pancake batter).

Prep the Garlic Topping

In a small bowl:

Mix melted butter/olive oil with minced garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt.

Cook in the Air Fryer (6–7 minutes)

Line the air fryer basket/tray with parchment paper.

Pour about ⅓ of the batter to form a flat round or oval.

Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes, then brush with garlic topping and cook for 1–2 more minutes until golden and crisp on edges.

Optional: add cheese before final 2 minutes for melty garlic cheese bread!
