Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat/gluten-free alternative)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 tbsp oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Mix the Dough – In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Gradually add warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms. Adjust with extra water or flour as needed for the right consistency.
- Knead the Dough – Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. This helps develop the perfect chewiness!
- Rest the Dough – Cover with a towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten and make rolling easier.
- Shape the Dough – Divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into ¼ inch thick disks. For a thicker texture, roll to ½ inch.
- Preheat the Air Fryer – Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
- Air Fry the Bread – Brush both sides of each dough piece with oil. Arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy – Let cool slightly on a wire rack for maximum crispiness. Serve warm with sweet toppings (honey, jam) or savory options (taco meat, beans, cheese, lettuce).
