Critical Success Points

  • Knead the dough until it releases from the mixer bowl walls.
  • First rise of 2 hours at 28 °C.
  • Form the balls and allow a second rise of 1 hour.
  • Precise cooking of 3 minutes at 180 °C in the Air Fryer.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the Air Fryer with gloves or an insulating sleeve; the basket becomes very hot.
  • Do not let the dough rise too long above 30 °C to avoid over‑proofing.
