Air Fryer Bread
Quick and easy homemade bread made in an air fryer, offering a crispy crust and soft interior without the hassle of traditional baking.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a loaf. If using a bread pan, place it inside. If not, shape it and place it directly in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Place the loaf in the air fryer and cook at 320°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the air fryer and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs, cheese, or seeds to the dough. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze sliced bread for longer storage.
