Air Fryer Bread

Ingredients

• • 1 whole egg (60 grams)

• • 3 tbsp sugar (38 grams)
  • 2 tsp instant yeast (6 grams)
  • 1 cup fresh milk (240 ml), lukewarm

• • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (405 grams)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (3 grams)

Instructions

1. 1. Mix Egg and Sugar:
      • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until well combined.
   2. Activate Yeast:
      • • Add the instant yeast to the lukewarm fresh milk and let it activate for a few minutes.

   3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
      • • Pour the activated yeast mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
        • Add the cooking oil and mix well.

   4. Form Dough:
      • Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.

1. 1. First Rise:
      • Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
   2. Shape Dough:
      • • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into portions according to your recipe or preference.
      • Shape the dough as desired and place it in the air fryer basket.
   3. Air Fry:
      • • Air fry at 125°C (260°F) for 10 minutes, adjusting the time if needed based on your air fryer model.
      • If preferred, preheat the air fryer before cooking.
      • Note that the bread may brown only on top due to the heating element of the air fryer. You can flip the bread halfway through cooking if desired for even browning.

  • Use slices for making sandwiches or toast.
