Ingredients

Optional Herbs

  • 1 tbs Thyme
  • 1 tbs Sage
  • 1 tbs Rosemary
  • Olive Oil for topping

Instructions

  • Add your 2 tsp sugar and 1 1/2 tsp of yeast to a large bowl and mix in the warm water that is between 105 and 110°F. Too hot will kill the yeast and too cool of a water temperature will make it take longer for the yeast to activate.
    Let sit for about 10 minutes until it is foamy
  • Add everything else to the bowl and mix. Start to knead your dough, adding some flour to your hands to help prevent sticking. Don't add too much flour; it will be a little bit sticky to start and will gradually hold its form. - until dough is smooth and bounces
  • Put dough back in the bowl, and move the bowl to a warm spot in the kitchen. Now place a wet towel over the bowl and let the dough rise for 45 minutes
  • Flip the dough over and let rise for another 10 minutes, or until it is double in size from when you first started
  • Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes to push out any air bubbles and help it get more elastic
  • Put the dough back in the bowl, cover it again, and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes. It should be about double in size once again
  • Pour enough olive oil to cover the dough, about 2 tbs, and using your fingers dimple the dough. You want the olive oil to go into the dimples of dough without kneading it into the dough. Do this on both sides
  • Now place the dough in your clean air fryer basket, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes
  • Now flip the bread in the air fryer- sprinkle herbs and sea salt over the top Bake at 350 for another 15 minutes
  • Remove from air fryer, brush with olive oil, sprinkle over salt serve and enjoy!
