Ingredients
Makes 4 breads
1 cup warm milk (not hot)
1 tsp sugar
2¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 egg yolk (for brushing)
1 tsp sesame seeds + 1 tsp nigella seeds (optional topping)
Instructions
- Activate Yeast
In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–7 minutes until foamy. - Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix and knead into a soft dough (about 6–8 minutes by hand or 4–5 in a mixer). - Let It Rise
Cover and rest the dough for 45–60 minutes or until doubled in size. - Shape the Bread
Punch down the dough and divide into 4 portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into a ½-inch thick circle or oval. - Brush and Top
Place one or two dough rounds into the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle sesame/nigella seeds. - Air Fry
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7–9 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Repeat with remaining dough.
Serving Tips:
Serve warm with hummus, garlic butter, or as a wrap for grilled meats and veggies.
