Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) Can be omitted if not desired.
  • 1 cup warm water Ensure it's warm, not boiling.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of your favorite herbs (optional) Enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Mix well.
  2. Gradually add in warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. Shape it into a round loaf.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the shaped dough into the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm!

Notes

Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Refrigerate for about a week or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the air fryer or toaster for best results.
