Air Fryer White Bread (Farmhouse Sandwich Loaf)
Description
A soft, golden farmhouse-style white sandwich bread baked in the air fryer with six pantry ingredients. One rise and about 20 minutes at 380°F.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 240 ml warm water, 105–110°F
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 2/3 cups about 333 g all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Brush a 6-by-3-inch round pan with melted butter.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the warm water, melted butter, yeast, sugar and salt.
- With the dough hook on low, add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, letting each addition mix in before adding more.
- Knead on medium speed for 8 minutes, until smooth and slightly tacky.
- Shape into a ball, place in the pan seam side down, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Air fry at 380°F for about 20 minutes, until dark golden and the center reads 190–200°F. Tent with foil if the top browns before 15 minutes.
- Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely before slicing.
Equipment
- Air fryer: 3.5 quarts or larger, with room above the pan.
- 6-by-3-inch round cake pan: Thin metal, not glass or silicone, for even browning.
- Stand mixer with dough hook: Optional; you can knead by hand instead.
- Instant-read thermometer: The surest way to confirm the center reaches 190–200°F.
- Wire cooling rack: Keeps the bottom from getting soggy while the loaf cools.
- Aluminum foil: For tenting the top if it browns too fast.
- Pastry brush: For buttering the pan evenly.
Notes
- No stand mixer: knead by hand for 10–12 minutes.
- Larger air fryers: a 7-inch round or mini loaf pan works; start checking at 15 minutes.
