WHAT AIR FRYER I USE FOR THIS RECIPE

The air fryer I used for this recipe was the Air Fryer by Instant Pot. It is called the Instant Pot Vortex and is one of my go-to air fryers. I usually use it at least 2x a day.

It has a digital timer and temperature control knob with an LED screen, and it’s easy to use and easy to clean.

But this recipe will work with both basket and oven models of any air fryer. It will also work with the Instant Pot Crisp Lid, Mealthy Lid, and Ninja Foodi.

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE AN AIR FRYER?

This recipe has been made for centuries, before the invention of Air Fryers, so you can almost use a toaster or oven to make the bread (toast).

Place the bread on a baking sheet, set the baking sheet into a preheated to 350 degrees F oven, and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
