A quick and delicious flatbread recipe infused with the bold flavors of garlic and fresh herbs. These Air Fryer Garlic & Herb Flatbread turn out perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. I like making these for dipping into sauces, serving alongside soups, or enjoying as a quick snack on busy days. The dough comes together quickly with just a few pantry staples, and the air fryer makes the cooking process both fast and mess-free.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how this recipe takes minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor. The Greek yogurt adds richness to the dough, while the garlic-herb oil makes each bite aromatic and savory. It’s a perfect option when I want fresh bread in under 20 minutes without heating up the whole kitchen. Plus, the flatbreads are versatile enough to pair with dips, soups, or grilled meats—or even as a base for flatbread pizzas.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
I stir in the Greek yogurt until the dough starts to come together.
Then, I transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth.
I divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, I flatten each ball into a round shape, about ¼-inch thick.
In a small bowl, I mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, and black pepper.
I preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Each flatbread gets brushed generously with the garlic-herb oil mixture.
I place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
I air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, until the flatbreads are golden and crisp.
After cooking, I let them rest slightly before serving.

Variations
Cheesy twist: I sometimes sprinkle grated Parmesan or mozzarella on top before air frying for an extra savory layer.
Spicy kick: Adding red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil to the garlic-herb mixture gives the flatbread a warm heat.
Gluten-free version: I’ve had success swapping the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Different herbs: I switch up the herbs with basil, thyme, or rosemary depending on what I have on hand.
Sweet option: For a dessert-style twist, I brush with melted butter and cinnamon sugar instead of garlic-herb oil.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore their crispness. They can also be frozen between sheets of parchment paper and stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. I reheat straight from frozen in the air fryer or oven.

FAQs
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, I often prepare the dough a few hours in advance. I wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until I’m ready to roll it out and cook.
Do I need to use Greek yogurt, or can I substitute it?
Greek yogurt works best for the right texture, but in a pinch, I’ve used plain regular yogurt. Just keep in mind that you might need to adjust the flour slightly to get the right dough consistency.
Can I cook these in the oven instead of an air fryer?
Absolutely. I bake them at 425°F on a baking sheet for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re golden and puffed.
How do I keep the flatbreads soft?
I like wrapping the cooked flatbreads in a clean kitchen towel as they cool slightly. This traps some steam and helps keep them softer if I don’t want them too crispy.
What can I serve with these flatbreads?
I love serving them with hummus, tzatziki, soups, or as a base for flatbread pizzas. They’re also great on the side of grilled meats or salads.
