This simple air fryer bread recipe allows you to create fresh, crusty bread at home without the need for a traditional oven. Using an air fryer provides a quick and efficient way to achieve wonderful results in a fraction of the time.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 baking parchment paper optional
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- N/A N/A herbs or spices for flavoring (optional) Such as garlic powder or dried rosemary.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm water and olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes or until it becomes a smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into equal parts to make 8 slices or shape it into one loaf if preferred.
- Place a piece of baking parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Lay the dough on top, spaced apart if making slices.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the bread in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Once cooked, remove the bread from the air fryer and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Experiment with different types of flour (like whole wheat) for a healthier version.
You can store any leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
To reheat, pop it back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.
