Notes

  • Measure the ingredients correctly for proportion.
  • Preheat the air fryer and grease the basket. Let the dough proof and test the yeast before use.
  • Check the dough for doneness before baking.
  • You can also knead the dough by hand for at least 25 minutes.
  • The best tip to remember is not to over-knead the dough to keep the gluten at an appropriate level and to prevent the bread from becoming tough.
  • If the dough has not risen, this may be due to inactive yeast or the temperature in your kitchen. To troubleshoot, check if the dough is active by combining it with water. If it reacts and bubbles immediately, you can use it for the batter.
  • If the bread is too moist and wet, it needs to be baked more, or the air fryer isn’t hot enough.
  • Large holes in the bread can be attributed to air pockets in the dough. To avoid this, punch the dough as you flatten it before shaping. Flattening it can remove the air pockets before baking.
