2-Ingredient Air Fryer Naan Bread is made with self-rising flour and Greek yogurt for a simple homemade flatbread. The dough comes together quickly and cooks right in the air fryer until lightly golden.

I love this recipe because you only need two basic ingredients for the dough. Brush the warm naan with melted butter after cooking for an easy finishing touch.

“These were so good! I divided the dough into 8 pieces for fewer calories and topped with everything bagel seasoning before cooking. I also omitted the butter. Yummy!!!”

About the Ingredients ⭐

  1. Greek Yogurt: Creates a soft dough and adds moisture.
  2. Self-Rising Flour: Gives the naan structure and helps it puff as it cooks.
  3. Cooking Spray: Keeps the naan from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  4. Butter: Brush over the warm naan after cooking.

How to Make Air Fryer Naan Bread

Make the Dough: Mix the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until a soft dough forms.

Divide and Roll: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece flat.

Air Fry: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Add the naan and air fry until puffed and lightly golden, flipping during cooking.

Finish: Remove the naan from the air fryer and brush with melted butter while warm.

Tips I Found Helpful 💙

  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until a soft dough forms.
  • Flour the Surface: A little flour keeps the dough from sticking while rolling.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if your air fryer can’t fit all four pieces.
  • Watch the Naan: Air fryers cook differently, so check for a lightly golden, puffed naan rather than relying only on time.

  11. Just made these but the mix was like a batter! Had to add a further almost 1/2 cup of flour to get to a dough and sticky at that.
    After cooking, the naan were great though.

  13. So I try this recipe this morning and unfortunately I have no idea what I did but it did not puff up. Still tasted good but not puffing up was very disappointing. I did use a gluten-free flour and added baking powder and salt as I know, those are the pieces for the self rising, but I’m not sure what I did.

  14. 20 minute cook time is waaaaaaaay too long. These turned into crackers. Second batch was done perfectly at 7 minutes. I have a Vortex Plus.

    1. Agree! Shorter cooking time for my airfryer too. They came out soft in the center and crispy on the outside after 6 minutes on each side.

  15. Good recipe. Oops.. made dough with AP flour first by not reading recipe properly. Let that batch rest and added baking powder to second lot. Both batches browned and puffed up in the air fryer at 200C. I used zero % Greek yogurt. Thank you!
