Time 5h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup bread flour
½ cup spelt flour
½ cup sourdough starter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Combine bread flour, spelt flour, sourdough starter, oil, and salt in the bowl of stand mixer. Begin to knead using the dough hook. Add water until all the ingredients combine and begin to pull together; you may not need all the water. Knead on low speed for 5 minutes.
  • Fold the dough into a ball. Place inside an air fryer-safe baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to double in volume, 5 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap and score the loaf.
  • Place the baking dish in the air fryer and cook until loaf is browned, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 190 degrees F (88 degrees C). Allow to cool before slicing.

Tips for Baking Bread in Air fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer: This is crucial for getting an evenly cooked loaf. Preheat the air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes before baking.
  • Use a small loaf pan: A standard bread pan may not fit inside the air fryer. Use an 8-inch or 9-inch loaf pan to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Adjust the baking time: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your loaf pan and the model of your air fryer. Start checking the bread after about 20 minutes, and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Use a light-colored loaf pan: A dark-colored loaf pan will absorb more heat and can cause the bread to overcook. Use a light-colored loaf pan to prevent this.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Make sure there is enough space around the loaf pan for the air to circulate. Overcrowding the air fryer can prevent the bread from baking evenly.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to bake delicious, crusty bread in your air fryer. Experiment with different recipes and find your favorites. Air fryer bread is a great way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread without heating up the oven. It's also a healthier option than store-bought bread, as you can control the ingredients that go into it. So next time you're in the mood for bread, give air fryer bread a try.
