Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread

Looking for a speedy, soft, and delicious side to go with curries, dips, or grilled mains? Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread is the perfect solution. With just five ingredients and a 10-minute cook time, this easy flatbread is chewy, golden, and beautifully seasoned with cumin. I whipped this up alongside a veggie curry and it totally stole the show. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 150g self-raising flour
• 100g natural yoghurt
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of salt

How To Make Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread

1. Prepare the Dough:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour with a pinch of salt. Add the yoghurt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix with a fork until the dough begins to form, then use your hands to knead it for just 1 minute until soft and smooth.
2. Shape the Flatbread:
   Stretch or roll the dough out into the rough shape of your air fryer shelf or basket, aiming for about 1cm thick. Sprinkle cumin seeds evenly on top, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick well.
3. Cook the Flatbread:
   Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Once it’s hot, place a small heatproof bowl upside down inside the air fryer, set the air fryer shelf or rack on top, and lay your flatbread on the rack. Cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until puffed and golden.
4. Serve:
   Remove the flatbread from the air fryer, tear it in half, and serve warm. It’s great on its own or as a base for toppings like hummus, curry, or roasted veggies.

Why I Love This Recipe

This air fryer flatbread is incredibly quick, with no proving or long kneading needed. The self-raising flour makes it beautifully light and fluffy, and the cumin adds a warm, earthy note. It’s perfect when you want homemade bread without the fuss.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh self-raising flour to ensure the flatbread puffs up properly.
• Don’t over-knead—just one minute is enough for soft, tender bread.
• Press cumin seeds into the dough so they don’t fall off while cooking.
• Turn halfway through for even cooking and golden colour.
• Brush with a little olive oil before or after cooking for extra flavour and shine.

How To Store Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Flatbread

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Can I use Greek yoghurt instead of natural?
  Yes—Greek yoghurt works just as well. You may need to adjust the flour slightly if it’s thicker.
• What if I don’t have self-raising flour?
  Add 1 tsp baking powder per 150g plain flour to create your own version.
• Can I change the spice?
  Absolutely—try nigella seeds, za’atar, or even crushed garlic for variation.
• Do I need a rack or shelf?
  It helps with airflow, but you can also cook flatbread directly in the basket—just flip halfway.
• Is this vegan?
  Use a dairy-free yoghurt alternative and you’re good to go!
