Description

This Air Fryer Bread Recipe offers a quick and easy way to bake homemade bread with a crispy crust and soft interior using an air fryer. With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can enjoy freshly baked bread without needing a traditional oven. Perfect for beginners or anyone eager to make delicious bread with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for coating the bowl)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, warm water, olive oil, and honey. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix until you get a slightly shaggy, sticky dough. Then knead by hand until the dough forms a soft ball.
  2. First Rise: Lightly coat the cleaned mixing bowl with olive oil, place the dough back inside, and cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 50-60 minutes.
  3. Shape Dough: Prepare a piece of parchment paper large enough to lift the bread. Lightly flour your hands and fold the dough under itself to create a smooth ball. Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper and cover it for the second rise, about 15 minutes.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer and Score Dough: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and remove its basket if possible. Use a sharp knife to score the top of the dough with a ½-inch deep cut. Place the parchment paper and dough carefully into the air fryer basket, ensuring at least 2 inches of space above the dough for rising. Gently flatten the dough by hand if needed to fit.
  5. First Bake Phase: Air fry the dough at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue cooking for 15 minutes.
  6. Flip and Continue Baking: Using tongs, carefully lift the parchment paper and bread from the air fryer basket and flip the loaf. Return it to the air fryer basket with the parchment paper and bake for an additional 15 minutes at 350°F for even cooking.
  7. Cool and Serve: Tap the bottom of the loaf to confirm doneness; it should sound hollow. Remove the bread and parchment paper carefully, then allow the loaf to cool completely for about 45 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure the water temperature is around 110°F to activate the yeast properly.
  • Do not overfill the air fryer basket; leave space for dough expansion during baking.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
  • Use parchment paper to easily transfer and remove the dough from the air fryer.
  • The scoring on top helps control the bread's expansion and gives it a rustic look.
