Easy two-ingredient air fryer recipe for making soft and fluffy bread in 5 minutes

Whipping up a loaf of bread from scratch might seem like a mammoth task, but one foodieinfluencer has debunked the myth that it's an impossible mission requiring countless ingredients and endless patience. In fact, content creator Laura (@cakeontherun) is here to prove that you can whip up some homemade bread in mere minutes with just two key kitchenstaples.

For those of you feeling a bit hesitant about diving into the world of baking, journalist and recipe genius Laura's method skips the often dreaded steps – no need for any kneading or waiting around for the dough to prove. Imagine creating a fresh mini loaf with a couple of items you've likely got stashed away in your cupboards right now.

As she revealed in her May 2024 post, you can also utilise a favourite modern gadget to bake this treat. If you are pressed for time, never fear - Laura has shared that this nifty mini loaf can be cooked up in an air fryer in a flash. And for those avoiding gluten, there's good news - she's got a variation just for you. To rustle up gluten-free bread in a jiffy, switch to gluten-free flour and mix in a smidgen of xanthan gum, Laura instructs.

Social media users are already buzzing about the incredibly approachable recipe. According to the Express, One person was quick to chime in: "I have to try it." Meanwhile, Samuel pondered the possibility of microwave magic: "Thanks, so simple! Could you recommend cooking it in the microwave, in order to save fuel costs? Cheers."

If you're looking to dip your toes into bread making without the fuss or fiddle, follow these straightforward steps for a deceptively easy bake. Here's what you'll need to embark on your bread-making journey, minus the hassle borne from traditional recipes:

Mini bread loaf

Ingredients

6 tbsp self raising flour 4 tbsp yoghurt

Method

Simply bind your flour and yoghurt together in a bowel until you form a harmonious dough.

Next, dust your hands with flour, take the dough through a brief, soothing knead before shaping it into a pleasing loaf or wide sausage-like structure. Remember, you want it to feel pliable, not overly tacky.

Air fry the bread on air fry mode at 200 for five minutes. Laura noted that air fryers can differ, so if the loaf is still a bit doughy, bake for a few more minutes.

If you don't have an air fryer, oven bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Enjoy immediately.
