This Air Fryer Bread is a fast, foolproof recipe made with just 3 simple ingredients. No yeast, no oven, and no rising time required. Using Greek yogurt instead of yeast creates soft, fluffy bread buns that are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or serving alongside soups and dinners.
Ingredients for Air Fryer Bread
1½ cups (200 g) all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
⅔ cup (200 g) Greek yogurt (5% fat recommended)
Optional
Sea salt, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). This ensures even cooking and a golden exterior.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and optional salt. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a soft dough forms.
Tip:
If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour.
If it feels dry, mix in an extra spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly—just until smooth. Over-kneading is not necessary.
Step 4: Shape the Bread
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball, forming small bread buns.
Step 5: Air Fry
Place the dough balls into the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
To test doneness:
Tap the top—if it sounds hollow, it’s ready
Insert a toothpick—it should come out clean
Step 6: Serve
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
