Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 4 slices of fresh bread for your delicious toast. You can use any type of bread, but slightly thicker slices will offer a more satisfying chew.
Step 2
Line your air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper. This prevents the bread from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Baking parchment paper or specially designed air fryer liners work well.
Step 3
Arrange the 4 slices of bread in a single layer on the prepared parchment paper. Make sure the slices don’t overlap, and adjust their spacing according to the size of your air fryer.
Step 4
Now, let’s set up the air fryer. For the total cooking time of about 10 minutes, set the timer for 5 minutes initially. You might need to adjust this time slightly depending on the thickness of your bread and your air fryer’s model.
Step 5
Set the temperature to 180°C (350°F). This temperature is ideal for achieving a golden-brown and crispy exterior. Too low and the bread might become soggy; too high and it could burn.
Step 6
After 5 minutes, carefully remove the bread from the air fryer to check its progress. The surfaces should be starting to turn golden and feel slightly crisp. If it’s not yet to your liking, you can add a little more time.
Step 7
Now, flip each slice of bread over. You’ll notice that the bottom side is still pale and untoasted, while the top side has begun to brown. It’s time to toast this side.
Step 8
Place the flipped bread back into the air fryer and set it for another 5 minutes. This second round of toasting ensures both sides become evenly golden and wonderfully crisp.
Step 9
Voila! Your perfectly toasted bread is ready, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma. It should have a beautiful golden-brown, crispy exterior and a warm, soft inside. Doesn’t it look appetizing?
Step 10
Generously spread your favorite strawberry or fruit jam onto the warm, toasted bread. Pair it with a fragrant cup of coffee for a truly delightful homemade brunch experience. Enjoy your delicious toast!
