Whether you are after the perfect breakfast bread, a delicious afternoon snack, or an easy side for your meals, these yoghurt buns will no doubt become a favourite. Also try my apple scones in the air fryer – another quick and easy breakfast favourite.
I recommend this lovely coffee with our warm yoghurt buns
There is not much that beats freshly baked yoghurt buns from the air fryer – and the perfect companion is a good cup of freshly brewed coffee. I prefer a medium-roast Arabica that gives a round, balanced flavour with soft notes of nuts and mild sweetness – exactly what complements the buns’ airy, slightly tangy character from the yoghurt. I can warmly recommend Freehand Gently Coffee Beans – 1 kg – an excellent Danish Arabica coffee that is gently roasted and retains all the fine flavour notes that make your morning coffee a little ritual in itself.
Tips and Tricks for Yoghurt Buns in the Air Fryer:
- Choose the Right Yoghurt:Use a thick, natural yoghurt to make sure your buns turn out moist and tasty.
- Avoid Overworking the Dough:Knead the dough as little as possible. Overworking can make the buns heavy.
- Adjust the Size:Make small buns for a quick snack or larger buns for a more filling meal.
- Use Spices:Add finely chopped herbs or citrus zest for extra flavour.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:Preheat your air fryer to achieve even and uniform baking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Baking powder and baking soda react with the acid in the yoghurt, which makes the buns rise without yeast. That is why you skip the rising time completely and can have fresh buns on the table in about 40 minutes.
Yoghurt buns typically need 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees in the air fryer. You do not need to preheat for long – a couple of minutes is enough.
That is completely normal! Wet your hands with a little cold water or grease them with a little oil, so the dough does not stick when you shape the buns.

Ingredients
- 250 g Wheat flour
- 2 dl Plain yoghurt
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 bunch Fresh herbs (for extra flavour as savoury buns)
How to make it
- Prepare the dough:Mix the wheat flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the yoghurt and olive oil, and stir until the dough comes together. If you want savoury buns, stir the chopped herbs into the dough.If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour.
- Shape the Buns:Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces (for smaller buns, divide into more pieces). Shape each piece into a round bun.
- Prepare the air fryer:Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. If you use baking paper, put it in the basket just before the buns so they hold it down. The paper must never lie loose in the hot air fryer.
- Baking:Place the buns in the air fryer basket, making sure there is a little space between each bun for even baking. Bake at 180 °C for about 15-18 minutes, until they are golden brown and sound hollow when you tap the bottom lightly. Bake in 2 batches if there isn’t room for all of them.Start the online kitchen timer here
