Making Air Fryer Bread is incredibly easy. This simple recipe makes a perfect loaf of bread that is soft inside, topped with a golden crust.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast 1 packet
- ¼ cup warm water
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg whisked
Instructions
-
-
Add yeast to a bowl with water that is warm. Let the yeast sit in the warm water for about 3 to 5 minutes.
-
-
Once the yeast has activated, add in the flour, sugar, milk, butter, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until they were well combined and it becomes slightly flaky.
-
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead the dough until it is smooth, then shape it into a ball.
-
Place the ball of dough into the air fryer basket, and then wrap with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
-
Brush the top of the loaf with an egg wash. and air fry at 320 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, until the top of the bread is golden brown.
Notes
Air frying cooking times may vary. Add 1-2 minutes cooking time if necessary, until the top of the bread is golden brown.
I use instant yeast instead of active yeast, because the dough will rise a bit faster, and doesn’t require proving. Keep in mind if you use active yeast, it will take about 15-30 more minutes for the dough to rise, but you can use either.
Allow the bread to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture in the bread. This can cause mold or sogginess.
Using a circle of parchment paper to line the springform pan makes for easy removal. If you aren’t using a pan, be sure to line your basket with air fryer parchment paper. The bread dough will sink through the holes in the basket without parchment paper.
