Time 2h20m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

Butter a 6-by-3-inch round pan and set aside.
Combine the butter, yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 cup of the flour at a time, waiting for each addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once all of the flour is added, knead on medium speed for 8 minutes.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Add the pan with the dough to a 3.5-quart air fryer and set to 380 degrees F. Cook until the bread is dark brown and the internal temperature registers 200 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Tips

You can reduce the sugar content by removing the maple syrup glaze. You can add syrup or honey to the bread pudding after baking if you want to add sweetness.
Use a bread that is slightly stale. A stale bread will absorb the custard better and result in a more moist bread pudding.
Don't overfill the ramekins. The bread pudding will expand as it bakes, so leave some room at the top of each ramekin.
Serve the bread pudding immediately. It is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion

Air fryer bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It is a great way to use up leftover bread, and it can be customized to your liking. You can add your favorite fruits, nuts, or spices to the bread pudding. You can also top it with a variety of glazes, such as maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce.
