I was a baker. I was taught by a bread baker. He showed me how to tell when you have perfect dough. Take a piece of dough between your fingers and spread it thin so you can see threw it. If it breaks apart it is not ready. It should stretch easy. Also to tell if your bread is done, tap it. It should sound hollow. If you brush your baked loaf right from the oven/airfryer, with olive oil, it will stay fresh longer.
@@NRGYTime and possibly stretch and folds (a simple process you can find on the internet) or kneading. Depends how you're making your bread. (I'm not an expert and welcome other opinions.)
Here's amother idea: Instead of making loaves of bread I now make rolls and freeze them. I wrap 2 rolls together and frreze. Then I pull them out of the freezer as needed. Works for me. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the mini loaf recipe. I live alone and a full loaf is difficult for me to use before it goes bad. I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you for all that you do and share!❤
My countertop microwave is also a convection oven ( which is what an air fryer is). Nice for baking. An 8" cake pan fits, as does a loaf oan or angel food cake pan. I recently bought three 5.75' 3" loaf pans. I divided cake batter between them. Ate one, froze 2. I enjoy your videos, like listening to my aunt.
I agree. I'm so tired of channels that edit everything to death and then show you easy 'life hacks', but not mentioning they did dozens of takes before they had success.
Mind blown! I love the small batch since it’s just the two of us and I must limit my carb intake, so less temptation. 😊 It will also much more energy efficient and keep my kitchen cooler during the hot, humid days of summer. Thank you so much, Pam and Jim!!
I made your recipe today. Thank you so much. The recipe worked well for me. I baked it in my Power-Air-Fryer Oven. Due to the pans I had available , I had to make a smaller loaf and an even smaller loaf of cinnamon bread. Yum!!
Depending on your bread maker, it could be baked in air fryer for a different shape. I was thinking of trying rolls instead of a loaf. I could knead it in the bread maker on dough setting.@@connieefurulee
Okay I see, if you want a different shape, I often use the bread maker to make dough for cinnamon rolls, makes it easier and quicker, of course I’ve been using a conventional oven as I usually make a lasagna pan full 😋
Hey yeah! I did bake bread loaves in the round in a toaster oven. Just put them one at a time on the baking sheet ( oiled lightly of course) that's made for toaster ovens and away it goes! With some adjustments for the baking time. But hey, whether crockpot, toaster oven, or Air fryer, they're good for hot weather bread baking!
This is FABULOUS!! We live in FL and I don’t like turning the big oven on in the heat of summer. I’ve been wondering if this would work, and now, Dear Lady, you and Jim have answered that question❤. I just ordered the Fat Daddy pan and will be trying it soon.
I have a air fryer that opens with doors in front so I shouldn’t have this problem because I have enough room because I can put the bread low enough on a rack so it don’t touch the top . Can’t wait to try this !!
Hi Pam, here in South Africa we can have our Electricity turned off for 6 hours during the day. Would you be able to give me the recipe for rye bread please. Where do I find the recipes for these. Thank you. Love what you do for us, I’ve learn’t so much
Wowzers! The cinnamon and raisin loaf looks scrumptious. Thank for another great video, I have learned so mutch from you. It revolutionized my bread baking and got me started in canning. I have done waterbath canning for a while, and just last month finnaly got a pressure canner.
You are like the Ever Ready Bunny, you don't slow down. You come up with so many recipes, ways to be more efficient and reveal things that not all of us might have realized. Thank you Pam and Jim for sharing so much with us.
I would think that putting a piece of aluminum foil on top at some point would keep it from browning. If it happens too often then cut the recipe by 5 or 10%. I am going to try this.
What a great idea! My daughter is going to love this. She really enjoys cooking but sometimes the oven scares her so she uses the air fryer a lot of the time. She also could survive on bread alone I think. So this is perfect for her.
Lately, have been thinking about experimenting with single serving homemade bread when I go to dog shows in my air fryer. I have a tiny air fryer that I keep in my little camper since I don’t have an oven. I’m glad you posted this. Thanks!
Air fryers are awesome... PAM I HOPE YOU'LL DO A BUNCH OF NEW VIDS USING AIR FRYER! These gadgets are so practicle and fun to use. I use it make alot of my KETO friendly foods. I dont do breads of course because they are loaded with carbs, but wow.. the meats, fish and veggies.. super fast, and clean up is a breeze.
I agree. Since I got my Ninja Foodi two years ago I've saved a lot on electricity and on cooking times for a range of foods. Chicken, fish, sausages, hash browns, fries. Loads of foods that can go in the air fryer.
Such gorgeous bread!! Thank you for sharing. I made a loaf this morning in a 9” springform pan and it worked perfectly! It’s also almost gone because the recipe is so good😊
Hi I am. I love the information you so graciously share. You mentioned aluminum baking pans discolor in dishwasher. I found this true and then discovered it was the cascade platinum I was using that discolored mine. I switched to cascade liquid and no more discolored new aluminum pans.
We have a toaster oven style air frier which we often bake bread in. In the fridge i keep a container of dough. (I make it about once a week or so) So yummy to have bread/rolls in 30 minutes!!!
Do you mix the dough in the normal fashion then pull off what you need and refrigerate the remainder? How many loaves does it make? Thank you for this tip.
Thank you for all your work & all you share with everyone!! Also, it's GREAT that you show the 'oopsies' with us - which you provide guidance on how to correct - WONDERFUL!!! God bless!
Very impressive results! I have baked bread from a packet of bread mix, but it was a lot of work kneading, proving and allowing to rise. And then heating up my main oven and so on. I have had a Ninja round Foodi air fryer for nearly two years and use it all the time now, sometimes twice a day. My main oven is practically redundant, as I'm only cooking for one anyway. But I will also need to buy a slightly smaller loaf tin as the one I used before in the main oven is just too long to fit inside the Ninja pot. You explained all the steps carefully and slowly and I'll be checking out your other videos soon. I'm in the UK, by the way.
This is seriously brilliant!! I’m definitely going to try it. I might make a regular batch and then freeze what I don’t use for later. Thanks so much for sharing this video!!
Great idea. I have that exact air fryer and its just the two us also. Recently, I baked 3 loaves and froze 2 but this would be an awesome alternative to bake just what we needed for the week.
This is marvelous! I will look at air fryers for sure. Keeping our homes cooler by not using our kitchen ovens is perfect! Baking with the Fat Daddio and Granitestone bakeware is delightful. I will have to look through your videos to see your opinion regarding how often an air fryer is actually used to make it worth my cost, but I believe it will be worth it to keep the heat out of the kitchen. I Thank you both so very much for this video, as I always enjoy your helpful videos! God bless 🙏❤️
Thank you sooooo much! You have so much knowledge. I know this that’s so much work for you and Jim and I really appreciate you do8ng the viedo. God Bless
Thank you! This will be perfect for my house of 2. Thank you for including a freshly milled grson recipe I'm new to whole grains and do not know how to convert recipes yet.
I really want to thank you for passing on such important and helpful information! So many people didn't have anyone to teach these important life skills.
Love this, great information and good details. I don't mind the brown top. Thank you for giving us so many ideas and options for bread baking in the air fryer. I'm like many others, using small appliances in the hot weather.
Beautiful! I recently found your channel. I’ve been learning new things from every video I’ve watched, which I just love doing. Many thanks to you and your husband for putting in all the work to create these wonderful videos and your helpful web site!
All the bread’s turned out beautifully! I don’t have a big air fryer. Mine is pretty small but I love making bread but haven’t in years. When I was young my little grandma taught me to make bread & I would enter it in our county fair & I took blue ribbons. I was so proud! Today I’m a diabetic & can’t eat white bread & can eat a little wheat bread. I’m loving your video 💜
Bake 1 or 2 regular loaves, cool completely, slice, then freeze in zip-locks. I do all my bread products this way, homemade or store bought. Freezing keeps it fresh. I toast it frozen. It thaws at room temp or in the microwave for a few seconds. Small loaves are just fun, but I don’t worry about quantity for a single person. If I’m going to the trouble of baking bread, I want a bigger yield for my time and effort. Bread freezes well for about 2-3 months.
My regular oven has an airfryer setting (already preheated ) Ge electric, induction) works great for air frying It also has a convection setting as well as reg. baking. Should I try the air fryer for this bread?
Thank you! I love making our own bread and its just me and my hubby. Ive learned to make smaller loaves but not in the air fryer. We're ok with a dark top. 👍❤️
I've never done bread in the air fryer, but I've done biscuits, and I started tenting them with aluminum foil for the first half, then uncovering them for the last half, and brushing them with butter or olive oil when they first come out. It really helps to avoid that overly browned top. I bake a LOT of things in my air fryer: pizza, brownies, cookies, biscuits, mac and cheese... just have to lower the temp and tent things. My next challenge is a cheese cake in the air fryer using ramekins of water and tenting with foil to prevent cracking. Fingers crossed!
To prevent my biscuits from over-browning I use a lower temperature to start, raising it only after they are light brown, but never over 345. The biscuits rise okay, a higher temperature throughout would probably give a better rise but I have burned too many for that to be important, lol.
A little tip I've seen but not actually used - pull a bit of dough from the loaf before the rise, put that small bit in a small glass (see-through) container. When the small bit has doubled, so has your loaf. Then it doesn't matter what shape the loaf is in your Cambro or whatever. I keep forgetting to try that. But I'm thinking that bit would also be perfect for then putting in the fridge for anyone who uses the "old dough" method of breadmaking. (Or just put it back in your main dough.)
I really enjoyed watching this tutorial and very much love your personality and clear instructions. I felt like I was right there in the kitchen with you two! I'm glad that UA-cam recommended this video. I just subscribed. Hugs from smoky Ontario, Canada 🙂
To avoid the burned top perhaps you can try folding a square of aluminum foil to the size of the loaf and setting it on top when it reaches the colour you like. Sort of like the pie rings we use. Love the idea and will definitely give it a go in my air fryer. Thanks for the content.
I know I often see recommendations to freeze a second loaf; I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have much room in my freezer (and would rather have the bread fresh anyway). 🙃 I do make smaller loaves, but I should have thought of the air fryer! Great video. Thanks. (I'm thinking a round pyrex bowl would work for "peasant loaves," too.)
@@girlnextdoorgrooming Yes, & I do sometimes refrigerate partial dough, but I still prefer not to because of lack of space. Just personal preference to do one loaf at a time.
Pam, I always use my bread machine to make the dough for my oven baked breads (Fibromyalgia makes it hard to knead for me) so I tried this recipe that way. I used the dough cycle which is 1:50 minutes. I only had to add a couple pinches of flour while in the kneading cycle and the dough turned out beautiful. I degassed and rolled it as usual (just like you do!) and got it in the little Fat Dadio pan that I bought to make this bread and allowed it to rise until double, about 30 to 35 minutes. I baked it in my regular oven at 350 and it took about 28 minutes to reach 200 degrees. BUT….this thing rose so high in the oven that it looks like one loaf on top of another and started lilting to the side! LOL! It is cooling now so I have not tried it yet but I have to say that I could have easily used my favorite pan, the Wilton non-stick 9X5. If I like this bread I will use the 9X5 next time. I think maybe the DOUGH cycle on my Zojirushi really gave it a work out developing those gluten strands even more so than the mixer would have. Perhaps that is why it rose so high? I wish we could ad pictures here, but trust me, you would laugh! 😉
Wanted to add that after we tried it we really liked it! Soft crumb, tasty and very good! I will be making it this way many more times! I encourage other who have a bread machine to try it that way and bake in the oven. Beware, you may need a bigger bred pan to bake it in though.
My large oven is out of commission right now due to a gas leak, so your small loaf recipe comes at an apt time for me. My bread will bake in the toaster oven today with the rack flipped to lowest position. Fortunately, I have a small loaf pan just like yours. Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are always helpful and interesting.
#1 You don't wash aluminium pans in a dishwasher, it causes oxidation. Same as rust on steel. These pans are raw aluminum. They are not coated with anything so in the dishwasher, it reacts with the detergent and oxidizes. Do not wash them in the dishwasher, wash them by hand with a mild detergent like Dawn. This is why we don't wash uncoated pans of any sort in a dishwasher. If you'll notice if you wash a pot or pan in a dishwasher, the bottom is not coated(as the rest) and the bottom which is not coated, but is bare aluminum to conduct better heat, turns black. This can cause other issues, such as your glass cooktops can get scratched up, So when they say aluminum pans are dishwasher safe, do not believe them.
Hi from Southern California. I've never used my Ninja for baking but might give it a try. If the dough seems too soft you can just take enough off before making the loaf and used that extra dough for one or two dinner rolls or even cinnamon swirl rolls. Yum.
I left a bake, homemade bread. I haven’t tried it in my air fryer but I have a seven and one I will try your recipe. Thank you and your bread does look good.
My countertop microwave is also a convection oven. I can bake 8" cakes or a loaf pan of something. I recently bought 3 small bread pans. 5.75x3". Nice for dividing a cake batter. Eat one, freeze 2.
Awesome. I have the air fryer lid for my IP and purchased IP loaf pans, springform pans, etc. for the IP. What a great experiment to finally use my accessories. They were on clearance and I couldn’t pass them up.
I was a baker. I was taught by a bread baker. He showed me how to tell when you have perfect dough. Take a piece of dough between your fingers and spread it thin so you can see threw it.

@@NRGYTime and possibly stretch and folds (a simple process you can find on the internet) or kneading. Depends how you're making your bread. (I'm not an expert and welcome other opinions.)
@@NRGY It means the gluten is not strong enough. Continue kneading and resting the dough.
Thanks for the tip.
@@NRGY if it brakes apart it is not ready. It will need more kneading
My dad was a bread baker from the time he came back from Normandy at 23 years on until he retired at 66. I learned from the best ❤
Here's amother idea: Instead of making loaves of bread I now make rolls and freeze them. I wrap 2 rolls together and frreze. Then I pull them out of the freezer as needed. Works for me. Thanks for sharing.
I do the same thing. Even with a loaf, slice it up, bag it and freeze it
Having only one person in an household is not necessarily a problem - for many it's a blessing.
I agree.
It is! It is!!
This is GENIUS!!!!!
As a single person, this is absolutely life changing for me!!!
I love this idea, im a widow and live by myself. And I love homemade bread. ❤watching you from Kentucky ❤

I just love watching your videos. You and your hubby are so wonderful together. I will be trying this for sure
Hi glad I saw this. I was wanting to learn all about bread. Taking one recipe at a time that I could bake multiple ways including outdoors

Thanks for watching our videos, and reducing your intake and a keeping your kitchen cooler. Jim
I freeze all my bread, slice before putting in freezer.
I love the air fryer method. I say just caught off a little at the top and it looks delicious!

Hi Pam, here in South Africa we can have our Electricity turned off for 6 hours during the day. Would you be able to give me the recipe for rye bread please. Where do I find the recipes for these. Thank you. Love what you do for us, I’ve learn’t so much
Wowzers! The cinnamon and raisin loaf looks scrumptious. Thank for another great video, I have learned so mutch from you. It revolutionized my bread baking and got me started in canning. I have done waterbath canning for a while, and just last month finnaly got a pressure canner.

I directed a friend that was new to freeze drying to you and your videos. She loves watching you now. Have a blsssed day ❤❤
Great timing for me! Gave in and bought an airfrier today, started z new batch of sourdough last week!! Ideal! Thank you!
What a great idea! My daughter is going to love this. She really enjoys cooking but sometimes the oven scares her so she uses the air fryer a lot of the time. She also could survive on bread alone I think. So this is perfect for her.

Bake 1 or 2 regular loaves, cool completely, slice, then freeze in zip-locks. I do all my bread products this way, homemade or store bought. Freezing keeps it fresh. I toast it frozen. It thaws at room temp or in the microwave for a few seconds. Small loaves are just fun, but I don’t worry about quantity for a single person. If I’m going to the trouble of baking bread, I want a bigger yield for my time and effort. Bread freezes well for about 2-3 months.
yep, I buy several loaves and freeze them so there is always bread available.
Read somewhere freezung your bread drops gluten by about 30%. If true, good to freeze them.
Part of the problem is freezer space! I only have so much freezer space in a one bedroom apartment.
I do the same. Slice and freeze.
I do the same thing, I use my bread machine.
I have already baked 2 medium loaves of bread in my Air-Fryer oven on the bake setting.....came out perfect.
Great!! Jim
How fun!!! I’m doing this in my air fryer.
My regular oven has an airfryer setting (already preheated ) Ge electric, induction) works great for air frying It also has a convection setting as well as reg. baking. Should I try the air fryer for this bread?

Mise En Place
I never thought about bread in the air fryer!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS MIGHT BE MY FIRST AIR FRYER RECIPE EVER...IT'S NEW AND I HAVEN'T USED IT YET.
I was just wondering about this and there you are with exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much!
Oh my goss. I had no idea you could bske bread in the air fryer. Just love eatching this vedio. Many thanks for a new trick. 😊
I mean just love watching 👀 I meant to say. All the way from South Africa.
I know I often see recommendations to freeze a second loaf; I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have much room in my freezer (and would rather have the bread fresh anyway). 🙃 I do make smaller loaves, but I should have thought of the air fryer! Great video. Thanks. (I'm thinking a round pyrex bowl would work for "peasant loaves," too.)
If you freeze after the 1rst rising you can thaw and rise when needed.
Freezing bread is very healthy for you as it lowers the GI by 31% and changes the starch, google it it's true.
@@girlnextdoorgrooming Yes, & I do sometimes refrigerate partial dough, but I still prefer not to because of lack of space. Just personal preference to do one loaf at a time.
Pam, I always use my bread machine to make the dough for my oven baked breads (Fibromyalgia makes it hard to knead for me) so I tried this recipe that way. I used the dough cycle which is 1:50 minutes. I only had to add a couple pinches of flour while in the kneading cycle and the dough turned out beautiful. I degassed and rolled it as usual (just like you do!) and got it in the little Fat Dadio pan that I bought to make this bread and allowed it to rise until double, about 30 to 35 minutes. I baked it in my regular oven at 350 and it took about 28 minutes to reach 200 degrees. BUT….this thing rose so high in the oven that it looks like one loaf on top of another and started lilting to the side! LOL! It is cooling now so I have not tried it yet but I have to say that I could have easily used my favorite pan, the Wilton non-stick 9X5. If I like this bread I will use the 9X5 next time. I think maybe the DOUGH cycle on my Zojirushi really gave it a work out developing those gluten strands even more so than the mixer would have. Perhaps that is why it rose so high? I wish we could ad pictures here, but trust me, you would laugh! 😉
Wanted to add that after we tried it we really liked it! Soft crumb, tasty and very good! I will be making it this way many more times! I encourage other who have a bread machine to try it that way and bake in the oven. Beware, you may need a bigger bred pan to bake it in though.
Thank you Pam for lovely recipe❤️ Creetings from Finland!
My large oven is out of commission right now due to a gas leak, so your small loaf recipe comes at an apt time for me. My bread will bake in the toaster oven today with the rack flipped to lowest position. Fortunately, I have a small loaf pan just like yours. Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are always helpful and interesting.
You are an excellent teacher! Thank you
You're very welcome!
What a cool idea! My air fryer is little. I’ll be trying these in mini pans!
Makes me miss my mom’s bread a lot!
We are loving these smaller loaves!
I’m happy to see what happens in real life so we can learn 😊 thank you for sharing this video with us ❤️
They all look great!
they all look beautiful even with the top brown. I like the loaf with the burnt bit on top.
LOL! It looks like it has been branded!
Love your shirt! Especially the buttons! 😊
I have made banana bread in my fryer as well. Yummy
I love heavily browned crust!😍I still use my bread maker. Genius to use air fryer tho! Thx!
#1 You don't wash aluminium pans in a dishwasher, it causes oxidation. Same as rust on steel. These pans are raw aluminum. They are not coated with anything so in the dishwasher, it reacts with the detergent and oxidizes. Do not wash them in the dishwasher, wash them by hand with a mild detergent like Dawn. This is why we don't wash uncoated pans of any sort in a dishwasher. If you'll notice if you wash a pot or pan in a dishwasher, the bottom is not coated(as the rest) and the bottom which is not coated, but is bare aluminum to conduct better heat, turns black. This can cause other issues, such as your glass cooktops can get scratched up, So when they say aluminum pans are dishwasher safe, do not believe them.
Perfect, in my view. Beautiful loaf of bread. Thanks for tips. 🍃🍂🌈
Thanks so much for this recipe! It's just my husband and myself now, so it's perfect!
You are very welcome.
Hi from Southern California. I've never used my Ninja for baking but might give it a try. If the dough seems too soft you can just take enough off before making the loaf and used that extra dough for one or two dinner rolls or even cinnamon swirl rolls. Yum.
Sounds great! Jim
Love your fridge
I left a bake, homemade bread. I haven’t tried it in my air fryer but I have a seven and one I will try your recipe. Thank you and your bread does look good.
Thanks! Jim
My countertop microwave is also a convection oven. I can bake 8" cakes or a loaf pan of something. I recently bought 3 small bread pans. 5.75x3". Nice for dividing a cake batter. Eat one, freeze 2.
Awesome. I have the air fryer lid for my IP and purchased IP loaf pans, springform pans, etc. for the IP. What a great experiment to finally use my accessories. They were on clearance and I couldn’t pass them up.
Sounds great!
Thank you. Your explanations are quite complete
You are welcome! Jim
Loved your video, thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Spring form pan i use one for cheesecake. It works well at maintaining the shape of the results.
Aside from hitting the element, it is such a beautiful loaf.
Thank you. It looked branded to me! LOL!
Thank you for sharing your expertise!! I appreciate
you both so very much. 🥰
Thank you for the recipes ♥️♥️♥️♥️
