What you need
Steps
Whisk 300 g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp dry yeast in a large bowl. Pour in 200 ml warm water and stir with a spoon until no dry flour is left.
Tip the dough onto a lightly oiled surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. It should feel smooth and springy and pull back when you stretch a piece.
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and leave it in a warm spot for 45 to 60 minutes. It is ready when it has roughly doubled in size.
Chop the fresh garlic and green onions finely and mix them with 2 tbsp cooking oil. Add a pinch of salt so the garlic flavour spreads evenly.
Knock the dough down, roll it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick and spread the garlic and onion mix over it. Roll it up and tuck the ends under.
Grease the air fryer basket with oil and place the loaf inside, leaving room around the sides. Brush the top with a little oil so the crust browns.
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 40 minutes. If the top gets dark before the time is up, lay a piece of foil loosely over it.
Lift the bread out with tongs and let it rest on a rack for 10 minutes. Slice while still warm.
Tips and common mistakes
Water that is too hot kills the yeast, so it should feel just warm on your wrist, like bath water.
Air fryer baskets vary in size, so split the dough into two smaller loaves and bake in batches if yours is small.
The basket and heating element get very hot, so use tongs and oven gloves and never reach inside straight after baking.
Bread straight from the air fryer is still setting inside, so wait 10 minutes before cutting or the crumb turns gummy.
Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, use the same 1 tsp. Instant yeast can go straight into the flour with the salt, no need to wake it up in water first.
Can I make this without an air fryer?
Yes. Bake the loaf in a regular oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the base sounds hollow when tapped.
Why did my bread come out dense?
Either the dough did not rise long enough, or the water was too hot and killed the yeast. Give it the full rise time in a warm spot.
