About Time 

  • Prep Time  20 mins
  • Cook Time  20 mins
  • Total Time 40  mins
  • Ingredients

    For the Dough:

    • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup warm water
    • 1/4 cup olive oil

    For the Topping (optional):

    Sesame seeds or nigella seeds

  • Instructions

    1. Activate the Yeast:

    • In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
    • Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

    2. Make the Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
    • Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
    • Mix until the dough comes together.

    3. Knead the Dough:

    • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.

    4. First Rise:

    • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

    5. Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Preheat your Air fryer to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the Air fryer to heat.

    6. Shape the Dough:

    • Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions.
    • Roll each portion into an oval or rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.

    7. Second Rise:

    • Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet or a hot pizza stone.
    • Let it rise for about 15-20 minutes.

    8. Topping (Optional):

    • Brush the top of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds.

    9. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated Air fryer for about 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

    10. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the Turkish bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
