Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it includes xanthan gum)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for brushing)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm water with sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Pour the activated yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and add the olive oil. Mix well until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. (If the dough is sticky, sprinkle with a little more gluten-free flour.)
- Let the dough rise: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 30-40 minutes, or until it has slightly doubled in size.
- Shape the dough: After the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten each ball into a round disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the bread: Place one flattened dough disc in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd) and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the bread is golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Serve: Once the bread is cooked, remove from the air fryer and brush lightly with olive oil for a shiny finish. Optionally, sprinkle garlic or onion powder on top for extra flavor.
Serve your homemade gluten-free Turkish bread as a side dish, use it for sandwiches, or top with your favorite pizza ingredients for a quick gluten-free pizza!
Enjoy this easy, fluffy, and flavorful bread – the air fryer makes it so simple and delicious!
