Air fryers have revolutionised cooking by allowing us to fry food with minimal or no oil.
This popular appliance is also an excellent option for those looking to reduce their carb intake, enabling you to skip heavy, starchy ingredients and easily prepare lighter, healthier treats.
One recipe that is both low fat and low carb, is Turkish bread. Using just three everyday ingredients, this recipe is causing quite a buzz amongst air fryer users, reports the Express.
The recipe was posted on the Best and Easy Air Fryer Recipes Facebook page.
The poster who shares the recipe said: “Brought a Turkish bread to my neighbour and she called five minutes later saying she needed the recipe. People seriously love this bread.””
The bread is tasty on its own or can be used as a base for pizza, wraps, and sandwiches.
To make the flatbreads, you’ll need self-raising flour, plain yogurt, and a teaspoon of olive oil. With just five minutes of prep time and only eight minutes of cooking, this low-carb bread alternative can be ready to enjoy in under 15 minutes.
Here’s how to make the Turkish flatbread at home.
