Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in ¾ cup of milk (dairy or plant-based) and 2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter. Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough briefly. Shape it into a round loaf or a shape that fits your air fryer basket comfortably.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Bread: Place the shaped dough carefully into the air fryer basket. Cook for 18 minutes, flipping halfway through if your air fryer requires it, until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the air fryer and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing into 8 slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Ensure your air fryer basket is large enough to accommodate the dough to allow proper air circulation.
- For added flavor, sprinkle herbs like rosemary or thyme on top before air frying.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to 2 days.
