If you use my dough recipe for the same timing, make sure to make the loafs small enough to fit in the air fryer. Best of luck!

    • @ethanpaff
      @ethanpaff  Před rokem +1

      Don’t worry, you don’t need that particular brand of bread flour. Feel free to use what you’ve got. For a really chewy texture and light open crumb, you want to look for “bread flour”-any will do. Something like this (www.metro.ca/en/online-grocery/aisles/pantry/baking-ingredients/flour-baking-essentials/homestyle-white-bread-flour/p/059000015231) should work fine. Usually any flour advertised as “bread flour” has the higher protein content that you need.

      In the description I wrote:
      “Mix all ingredients and let sit for 30 minutes, kneading every 10 minutes (3 sets total).
      Let rise for 1 hour.”
      What I mean is to let the dough sit for 30 minutes, folding it for every 10 minutes of that 30 minute block of time. You form the dough, let it rest for 10 minutes, fold, let it rest for 10 minutes, fold, let it rest for a final ten minutes, fold a final time, and then you let it rise for one hour without touching it. I hope that helps, but let me know if it’s still unclear.

    • @ethanpaff
      @ethanpaff  Před měsícem +1

      Sorry to hear that. Some flours absorb more or less water than others. Sounds like you could do with less water next time. It’s good to have a sticky dough to a degree, but that sounds far too sticky.
      Also, if you aren’t using parchment paper, definitely make sure to sprinkle ample amounts of flour onto the pan before placing the dough loaves on it.

      Let me know if that changes anything! And a note on that: for the rise, you’re looking for the dough to about double in size. If that doesn’t happen by the time I said it should, let it go for longer. Rising time depends on room temp. The warmer the room, the quicker the rise.
