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

Why do you bake yoghurt buns with baking powder?

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 make fresh buns in 20 minutes.

How long should yoghurt buns bake in the air fryer?

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.

The yoghurt bun dough is sticky – what do I do?

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
     
  • 1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
     
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
     
  • 1 bunch Fresh herbs (for extra flavour as savoury buns)
     
  • 1 pinch Sugar
     

How to make it

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
    Add the yoghurt and olive oil, and stir until the dough comes together.
    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 Airfryer:
    If your airfryer requires it, place a piece of baking paper in the bottom.
    This can help prevent the buns from sticking.
  • Baking:
    Place the buns in the airfryer basket, making sure there is a little space between each bun for even cooking.
    Bake at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and baked through.
