Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 whisk or fork
- 1 parchment paper optional
- 1 bread pan if needed
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water About 110°F or 43°C.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a loaf. If using a bread pan, place it inside. If not, you can shape it and place it directly in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Place the loaf in the air fryer and cook at 320°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the air fryer and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs, cheese, or seeds to the dough.
Notes
