Instructions

  1. Mix the sourdough starter with lukewarm water in a large jar. Add flour and mix to a paste. Seal loosely and mark the quantity.

  7. After the dough has risen, gently shape the dough into a loaf. Cover and leave for 2-8 hours.
  8. Preheat your air fryer to 190°C for 3-5 minutes. Gently shape the dough into a loaf on parchment paper.

Air Fryer Sourdough Bread Recipe Tips

  • Feed Starter: Active and fed 6-12 hours before.
  • Manage Stickiness: Use wet hands, not extra flour.
  • Preheat: Ensure even crust.
  • Parchment Paper: For easy transfer.
  • Check Doneness: Hollow sound = done.
  • Cool: 20 minutes before slicing.

Storing Your Sourdough Bread

To store your air fryer sourdough bread, place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in a kitchen towel and plastic wrap. Keep it at room temperature for up to 3 days for the best flavour and texture. To reheat sourdough bread, place slices in the air fryer at 175°C for 2-3 minutes to restore the crispness of the crust.
