'My air fryer bread with 2 ingredients turned out better than sourdough'
This recipe is as simple as it gets - no kneading, no proving, just two ingredients and your trusty air fryer Few things compare to the comforting smell of freshly baked bread wafting through your house - though getting to that stage isn't always so simple. The thought of endlessly kneading and waiting for the dough to prove can seem more effort than it's worth. But with this simple bread recipe, with just two ingredients, will create not only the perfect loaf, but have your house smelling delicious. Emily Scott, also known as What I Ate For Breakfast on social media, has created a recipe that promises a delicious loaf with minimal effort. And even better, you can do it with an air fryer, the Express reports. In a short video, Emily shared her foolproof bread recipe that requires just two ingredients - Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour. No yeast, no expensive bakeware - and best of all, no long waits for the dough to prove. In the caption, she said: "The texture isn't quite as light and fluffy as a loaf made with yeast (more similar to soda bread), but it's soft with a delicious, crunchy crust and perfect for toasting or enjoyed warm from the oven slathered with butter." Here's how you can do it. Air fryer bread Ingredients - for the dough 500g self-raising flour 475g Greek yoghurt Pinch of salt (optional) For the topping: One egg Splash of milk Tsp sesame seeds Method First, measure out the flour and yoghurt into two separate bowls. Add the salt to the bowl of flour and give it a quick mix. Next, stir in the yoghurt and mix using your hands, a spoon, or a mixer until a smooth dough forms - add a splash of water if needed cause it looks too dry. As the dough comes together, make an egg wash by whisking an egg with a bit of milk - this gives your loaf a lovely golden finish after baking. Next, line the air fryer basked with greaseproof paper and place your dough on top. Then brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle over sesame seeds or which ever additional toppings you'd like. Set your air fryer to bake at 160C and cook for 40 minutes. You'll know the bread is done when the bottom sounds hallow when tapped. If i doesn't sound hallow, then place it inside for another 15 minutes, but cover the bread with tin foil so it doesn't get too burnt. Nicola Roy, made the recipe herself and here's what she had to say about the end results. She said: "The crust was so crunchy as I was cutting the bread into slices, with the inside of the loaf gorgeous and chewy - like sourdough but even better. After dishing it out to my family, they agreed that it was delicious, and they were in disbelief when they found out it was only two ingredients. It's even better toasted, especially when served with butter or your favourite spread. This may have been my first time making bread, but it certainly won't be the last, especially when recipes like this exist."

I made a delicious bread in my air fryer and it turned out better than sourdough
You don't need to prove or knead this delicious loaf, and it's perfect for toasting and serving with plenty of butter There's something special about tucking into a homemade loaf of bread, or at least that's what I've been told. Personally, the thought of endlessly kneading and anxiously waiting for dough to rise has always been off-putting. So when I came across a super simple bread recipe with just two ingredients, I was immediately intrigued. Emily Scott, also known as What I Ate For Breakfast on social media, says you can make a delicious loaf with minimal effort involved. And even better, you can do it all in an air fryer, the Express reports. In a short video, Emily revealed her foolproof bread recipe that requires just Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour to make. No yeast and no expensive oven dishes needed - and crucially, no waiting around for hours for the dough to prove. In the caption, she said: "The texture isn't quite as light and fluffy as a loaf made with yeast (more similar to soda bread), but it's soft with a delicious, crunchy crust and perfect for toasting or enjoyed warm from the oven slathered with butter." This sounded good enough to me, so I got to work on making my own loaf. I was not expecting anything special for my first attempt, but the end result was so impressive and I can't believe how easy - and delicious - it was. Here's how you can do it. Air fryer bread Ingredients - for the dough 500g self-raising flour 475g Greek yoghurt Pinch of salt (optional) For the topping: One egg Splash of milk Tsp sesame seeds Method First, weigh out your flour and yoghurt in two separate bowls. To the bowl with the flour, add the salt and give it a quick stir. Then, add the yoghurt and mix with your hands, a spoon or a mixer until you've got a nice smooth dough, adding a splash of water if it's too dry. While that's coming together, whip up an egg wash by beating an egg with a splash of milk - this will give your bread a beautiful golden glow once baked. Next, line your air fryer basket with baking paper and place your dough inside. Brush the top with your egg wash, sprinkle over sesame seeds or any other toppings you fancy, then bake at 160C for 40 minutes using your air fryer's bake setting. You'll know it's done when the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. I found mine needed an extra 15 minutes, but I covered it with foil to prevent it from burning. I won't lie, I was worried the dough would rise too much and make a mess of my air fryer. But it turned out perfectly, and I couldn't wait to dig in. There was a satisfying crunch as I sliced into the bread, revealing a chewy interior reminiscent of sourdough but even better. My family were equally impressed, and couldn't believe it was made with just two ingredients. It's even more delicious when toasted, particularly when served with butter or your favourite spread. This may have been my first attempt at baking bread, but it certainly won't be the last, especially with recipes like this available.
