Primary Rack: Bottom Rack Position
Secondary Rack: N/A
Shopping List
500g strong white bread flour
320ml (320g) lukewarm water
7g fast-action dried yeast (1 sachet)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil (or softened butter)
Rack Setup & Method
Preheat: Set rack air fryer to 200°C on Air Fry / Bake mode for 3 minutes.
Mix Dough: Combine the white bread flour, yeast, salt, and oil in your mixer bowl.
Add Water: Gradually stream in the lukewarm water while mixing. Stop adding water as soon as the dough pulls cleanly away from the edges of the bowl, leaving a clean bowl.
Prove: Shape the dough, transfer to a greased 2lb loaf tin, cover, and leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
Tray Loading: Place the proved loaf tin on the Bottom Rack.
Cook: Air fry at 200°C for 30 minutes.
Finish: Remove from the tin and tap the bottom of the loaf. It should sound completely hollow. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Key Takeaway
Pro Tip: White flour absorbs less hydration than wholemeal—stick strictly to the 320ml cap and keep the tin on the bottom rack to prevent top-element scorch.
