FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but it may result in a denser texture. You might need to adjust the water amount slightly to achieve the right dough consistency.

How do I know when the bread is cooked through?
The bread is ready when it turns a golden brown color on the outside. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is cooked through.

Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! If you want to make more bread, simply double the ingredients. Just make sure your air fryer has enough space to accommodate a larger loaf or cook multiple batches.
