Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt

• Optional: 1 tbsp milk (for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Activate the yeast:
   • In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. This shows the yeast is active.
2. Make the dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
   • Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.
   • Mix and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise:
   • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
4. Shape the dough:
   • After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a round loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.
5. Second Rise:
   • Place the shaped dough in a greased cake pan or small loaf pan that fits your air fryer basket. Cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 5 minutes.
7. Bake the bread:
   • Brush the top with milk for a golden crust (optional).
   • Place the pan in the air fryer and bake at 320°F (160°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your homemade bread fresh with butter or your favorite spread!
