Getting Started

Always use parchment paper or a silicone liner in the air fryer basket when baking bread. This prevents sticking, ensures even cooking, and simplifies cleanup, especially with wetter doughs.
Monitor temperature closely. Air fryers circulate heat intensely; start baking at 300°F (150°C) for most breads and adjust as needed to prevent overbrowning while ensuring the interior cooks through.
For enriched dairy-free breads, substitute butter with solid coconut oil or a high-quality dairy-free butter alternative. Ensure it is cold and cut into small pieces for flaky results in recipes like biscuits.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Bake bread in small batches to allow proper air circulation. This ensures uniform browning and a consistent texture throughout your dairy-free loaves.
