Equipment
- 1 Stand Mixer This recipe can be made without a stand mixer, just knead by hand.
- 1 Air fryer You can use any Air Fryer you like, just check the internal temperature to make sure it is fully cooked.
Ingredients
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 packet instant yeast 2¼ teaspoons
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 egg beaten with a splash of water
- 2.5 c all purpose flour
Instructions
- Add the water, milk, butter, granulated sugar, and instant yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine.
- Next, add the flour and salt to the bowl. Use the dough hook attachment to mix the dough on low speed (Kitchenaid #2) until it forms a ball– about 1 minute.
- Increase the speed to medium-low (Kitchenaid #4) and knead the dough until it is soft and tacky– about 3-5 minutes. If the dough sticks to the bowl at any point while kneading, just sprinkle in another tablespoon of flour.
- Lightly oil your hands and remove the dough from the hook and bowl. Shape the dough into a smooth ball.
- Lightly grease a 6” round pan (I’m using springform but a regular cake pan will also work) with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough in the pan and then set it in a warm place to rise until doubled in size– about 1.5 hours.
- Brush the top of the bread with the egg wash and place the pan in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 340ºF/171ºC for 15 minutes, or until the top of the bread is golden brown.
- Then carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the bread. Place the bread back into the air fryer and cook for another 12-15 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned and the bread sounds hollow when you knock on it.
- Allow the bread to cool completely. Then slice and enjoy.
Notes
Without a Stand Mixer
If you don’t have a stand mixer, don’t worry! Just make steps 1 and 2 in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or a bread dough whisk (not a regular batter whisk). Then knead the dough by hand for 5-8 minutes and continue with the recipe as written.
