Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 whisk or fork
- 1 loaf pan must fit in the air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well with a whisk or a fork.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and instant yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour your working surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes, just until it’s smooth.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan that fits your air fryer.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Once preheated, place the loaf pan into the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
You can add herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
Make sure the dough is not too wet; adjust with more flour if necessary.
The cooking time may vary based on the air fryer model, so keep an eye on the bread while it cooks.
