Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
- 1 cup Lukewarm Water
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 ½ tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour, ¼ teaspoon Salt
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in lukewarm water and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast, 1 cup Lukewarm Water
- Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture.2 ½ tablespoons Olive Oil
- Mix and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This might take about 5-7 minutes.
Let the Dough Rest:
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
Shape the Bread:
- Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the air fryer basket.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
Air Frying the Bread:
- Place the shaped bread dough in the preheated air fryer basket.
First Round of Cooking:
- Air fry the bread at 380°F (190°C) for 35 minutes. This initial cooking time will help the bread develop its crust and structure.
Flip and Second Round of Cooking:
- Carefully remove the basket and flip the bread over.
- Continue air frying for an additional 7 minutes at the same temperature (380°F or 190°C). This will further brown and crisp the underside of the bread.
Cool and Enjoy:
- Once the bread is golden brown and crusty on the outside, carefully remove it from the air fryer basket.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
