Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Stir in the warm water and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow a quick rise.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf or small oval, depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease it, then place the dough inside.
- Set the air fryer to 330°F (165°C) and bake the bread for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
- This recipe is best suited for a small loaf or two mini rolls.
- For added flavor, you can mix in herbs, garlic powder, or shredded cheese.
- If your air fryer runs hot, check the bread at the 12-minute mark to avoid over-browning.
- The dough can also be prepped ahead and refrigerated for up to a day before baking.
