Description

This Crispy Air Fryer Bread recipe delivers a quick and easy way to enjoy freshly baked, golden-brown bread with a crunchy crust and soft interior using your air fryer. Perfect for snacking or as a side, this bread requires minimal ingredients and a simple preparation process, leveraging the efficient air frying method for a delightful homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for added richness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and starts to foam.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil (if using) to the yeast mixture. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Let Dough Rise: Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape the dough into a round loaf or flatten it slightly depending on your air fryer basket size.
  6. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Air Fry the Bread: Place the shaped dough in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Cook for 15 minutes at 375°F until the bread is golden and crispy on the outside.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the air fryer and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the interior to finish setting.

Notes

  • Warm water is essential for activating the yeast properly, ideally around 100-110°F (37-43°C).
  • If you prefer a softer crust, brush the bread with butter after air frying.
  • Use parchment paper or lightly oil the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
  • Check bread halfway through cooking; adjust time slightly depending on air fryer model and size of dough.
  • Letting the bread cool before slicing prevents a gummy texture inside.
