Getting Started

For most vegan breads, preheat the air fryer to 325-350°F (160-175°C). Lower temperatures prevent over-browning before the interior cooks through, especially for richer doughs.
Vegan doughs can dry out quickly. Lightly brush the surface of rising dough with olive oil or plant milk before air frying to encourage a golden crust and tender crumb.
Air circulation is key. Cook bread in small batches, leaving space between items. This ensures even cooking and crisping, preventing steaming.
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper (ensure it's rated for high heat and doesn't block air flow) for easy removal and to prevent sticking without excess oil, particularly for softer doughs.
