Ingredients and Preparation: Commence this culinary journey with the essential components: 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast, a teaspoon of sugar, a cup of warm water, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, a teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Activate the yeast by combining it with warm water and sugar, allowing it to develop a frothy texture. Blend the activated yeast mixture and olive oil with the flour and salt, crafting a cohesive dough. Turn this amalgamation onto a floured surface, kneading until the dough attains a smooth, elastic consistency.
Rising to Perfection: The dough is then placed in a lightly oiled bowl, covered with a damp cloth, and left to rise in a warm, nurturing environment. After an hour of patient anticipation, revel in the sight of your dough doubling in size—a testament to the artistry unfolding in your kitchen.
Preheating the Air Fryer: Prepare your air fryer for the baking spectacle by preheating it to 350°F (180°C), ensuring the ideal environment for the transformative process that awaits.
Shaping and Crafting: Punch down the risen dough and sculpt it into a loaf, a canvas for your culinary expression. This artisanal creation finds its home in the air fryer basket, ready to embark on a journey of golden transformation.
