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.

Having only one person in an household is not necessarily a problem - for many it's a blessing.

Pam, I use my Ninja air fryer to bake bread. I was able to fix the ‘burned top’ by switching to a pullman type bread pan. The covered top protects the bread & gives more of a square sandwich loaf. My husband likes square bread. He asked me to stop serving him ‘browned bread’ so I tried this and it works perfectly. I got the 7&3/4” pullman pan for about $13 from Amazon. Hope this helps. Perfect bread every time. Oh, I also dropped the temp to 325 degrees. Happy 1st Summer in retirement❣️

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.

Also great for RVers. I hate trying to store extra bread when traveling. This is a great idea, thank you so much. 😊🎉

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!

I love this idea! I think I’ll make the dough in my bread machine and then bake it in the air fryer. Thanks so much for sharing this.

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

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!!

I never thought about bread in the air fryer!

I pinch out a loaf quite often in fact watching this has inspired me to lay another loaf this morning.

Maybe someone has already mentioned this but a lot of air fryers have round drawers so thank you for suggesting the round cake pan!

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!!

This is GENIUS!!!!! As a single person, this is absolutely life changing for me!!!

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.)

Hi to both of you, thank you so much for these small loaf recipes! As with Jim and you, there is just the two of us. Please do more small batch baking. Thank you again, suzie

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.

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!

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.

Great timing for me! Gave in and bought an airfrier today, started z new batch of sourdough last week!! Ideal! Thank you!

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.

Okay. First time viewer, and I NEVER considered making bread because it's just me. But, she inspired me, so here I go❣️

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.

I directed a friend that was new to freeze drying to you and your videos. She loves watching you now. Have a blsssed day ❤❤

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😊

PAM- One thing I do when baking brownies/cake- things that rise… I Take Out the crisper insert.. it isn’t needed and gives more rise room 😉

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.

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!!!

So happy you’re sharing this & bless you for figuring out method of bread in the air fryer perfect for the two of us

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.

Ms. Pam, love this recipe for a smaller loaf of bread!!! Great idea to make this bread!!!

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 💜

Just got an air fryer and can’t wait to make this bread! Thank you!

All of them look fantastic & delicious. I have baked bread for years and can't wait to try this in my air fryer!

Looks good and easy. Thanks for leaving the burnt loaf in the video. Things happen and we should be prepared for that! !! !!!

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!❤

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 KZfaq recommended this video. I just subscribed. Hugs from smoky Ontario, Canada 🙂

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!

Love how you have all (most) of your ingredients pre-measured! Wish more KZfaq videos did so, makes for a quicker video. Thank you.

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.

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.

I was just wondering about this and there you are with exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much!

What a great idea, thank you for showing us how to do this and your loaves look fantastic

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 am really excited to try these recipes in my convection toaster oven. Thank you for the wonderful video🌺💮🌺Happy first day of summer.

Good on you for showing the loaf that was slightly burnt by the element. I love that you explained why the bread might rise more than expected and what to do to change it.

They all look great!

Thank you for sharing your expertise!! I appreciate you both so very much. 🥰

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

I just love watching your videos. You and your hubby are so wonderful together. I will be trying this for sure

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!!

I have learned so much watching your videos! You are such a fabulous teacher!

They all look beautiful 😍 If you try cooking it for 14-15 minutes then quickly flip it out of the tin and put it back in on it's back or side for the last 5 minutes or so it won't burn.

I'm so glad you keep in the little oopsies and just correct them in text. It makes the whole thing seem much more genuine, if that makes sense!

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!

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.

How fun!!! I’m doing this in my air fryer.

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.

Are you kidding me. I’ve had my air fryer for 2 years and never noticed the “bake” element. Cinnamon raisin bread is going to be on todays menu. As always, thank you for all of the testing you do, just to educate us, your viewers!

Can't wait to try this. Thanks.

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.

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 🙏❤️

Oh, now that's a total game changer! Love my air fryer!

Thank you for the recipes ♥️♥️♥️♥️

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.

Loved your video, thank you for sharing your wisdom.

I have already baked 2 medium loaves of bread in my Air-Fryer oven on the bake setting.....came out perfect.

How FUN!! There are just the two of us now too and I do a small batch but never tried the air fryer! Tomorrow!

I love this idea, im a widow and live by myself. And I love homemade bread. ❤watching you from Kentucky ❤

Love your shirt! Especially the buttons! 😊

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.)

Pam: You may want to do a video on Bao Buns. They might also be a good choice for off-grid cooking. They are a type of steamed bread buns that are cooked on top of the stove in a steamer basket and do not require an oven.

This is a really great idea! Thank you! ☺️

I’m happy to see what happens in real life so we can learn 😊 thank you for sharing this video with us ❤️

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. 😊

Perfect, in my view. Beautiful loaf of bread. Thanks for tips. 🍃🍂🌈

Thank You for the advice !! Love it!

💖🙏💖 Just 1/2 your dough into 2 smaller pans, it looks great. My air fryer is the glass door one so I will be trying this one in mine. Enjoy that hot bread with butter.

Beautiful crumb on the bread! Thank you for the tutorial.

The breads look delicious thank you for sharing

What a great idea! Thanks!

Absolutely wonderful nice to see some new things outside of the box

Hi, Pam and Jim. Could you please at some point do a video on pressure-cooking recipes in a pressure canner? I have a presto 16qt pressure canner and would love some recipe ideas. It works great for big batches of soup, and I did a mean pot-roast. More ideas for fast pressure cooked meals would be awsome.

Thank you Pam for lovely recipe❤️ Creetings from Finland!

Totally brilliant! Thank you

I have made banana bread in my fryer as well. Yummy

Now subscribing. Can't wait to see other Great ideas

Thank you! I learned something new! thank you for sharing!

Dense. Love it! Great job!

I love AF recipes so thank you for this tip 🎉

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.

Thank you. It turned out great!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS MIGHT BE MY FIRST AIR FRYER RECIPE EVER...IT'S NEW AND I HAVEN'T USED IT YET.

Made a loaf of white bread in the air fryer and followed your directions to the tee! Best bread ever. On to 1/2 wheat 1/2 white and cinnamon raisin. I've tried to make bread for over 30 years - finally success!

Great info! Thanks!

This was awesome thanks for sharing ❤

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you

I tried my bread pan in my air frier. It just fit. I don't have a drawer type airfrier. My frier has more head room so I won't have to worry about it rising to high. 👍

Thanks so much for this recipe! It's just my husband and myself now, so it's perfect!

Amazing! Nice job!
