This air fryer focaccia bread will become your new favorite bread recipe. It’s so easy to make and you can use it for anything from an appetizer to a side, to even slicing it up to make sandwiches. Trust me, I’ve done all three! Only 6 ingredients are all that stand between you and this delicious homemade air fryer bread.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, stir the water and sugar together. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and gently stir into the water. Let sit for 10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
2. Place the bread flour and salt into a large bowl and add the yeast mixture and oil. Use a rubber spatula and stir until well combined.
3. Spritz a clean bowl with cooking spray and place the dough into the bowl to let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, separate the dough into two even halves. Shape into 8-inch by 6-inch rectangles, about 1/2-inch thickness. Press your fingers into the dough to create the classic looking focaccia dimples.
5. Place a loaf of dough into the air fryer basket and bake for 10 minutes, flipping over after 6 minutes.
When done, the loaf will be golden brown and firm.
