Crusty And Soft Air Fryer Bread Recipes (ONLY 4 Ingredients)

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 1 tablespoon Active Dry Yeast (ensure yeast is fresh)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (for topping, toasted optional)
• 1 pinch Salt (fine sea salt)
• 1 cup Lukewarm Water (about 105°F (40°C))
• 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil (thin layer for greasing bowl and dish; vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients

   Place 2 cups of all‑purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast into the mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined.

   Time: PT5M

2. Add water and form dough

   Gradually pour the 1 cup of lukewarm water into the bowl while mixing with a spoon or hand until a smooth, lump‑free dough forms.

   Time: PT5M

3. First rise

   Rub a thin layer of cooking oil around the inside of the bowl, cover the dough with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour 30 minutes.

   Time: PT1H30M

4. Prepare baking dish and transfer dough

   Lightly oil the baking dish that fits inside your air fryer, then gently turn the risen dough into the dish. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds.

   Time: PT5M

5. Second rise

   Leave the dough, still in the baking dish, inside the air fryer (turned off) for 30 minutes so it can double in size.

   Time: PT30M

6. Air fry the bread

   Set the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and bake the loaf for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

   Time: PT30M

   Temperature: 380°F

7. Cool and serve

   Remove the baking dish from the air fryer and let the bread cool in the dish for 10 minutes before slicing.

   Time: PT10M
