Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F or 45°C)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a rough dough forms.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 12-18 hours at room temperature. The dough should be bubbly and slightly risen by the end of the resting period.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough has rested, turn it out onto a floured surface. Gently shape it into a round loaf without kneading.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
- Place the Dough in the Air Fryer: Carefully transfer the shaped dough into the prepared air fryer basket.
- Bake: Cook the bread in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes. Check halfway through; if the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
- Check for Doneness: The bread is done when it’s golden brown on the outside and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
- Cool: Remove the bread from the air fryer and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Resting Time: Don’t rush the resting time. The dough needs plenty of time to rise for the best texture.
- Air Fryer Basket Size: Ensure your air fryer basket is large enough for the dough to expand while baking.
- Flavor Variations: Add herbs, cheese, or garlic for extra flavor in your bread dough.
- Freezing: You can freeze any leftover bread. Just slice and wrap it in plastic wrap before freezing. Reheat in the air fryer for a crispy crust.
