Toasting bread in an air fryer is very easy and is a great way to take advantage of all the possibilities that this appliance offers, to prepare some delicious toast for breakfast.
The key to toasting bread in an air fryer is to avoid overcrowding the slices so they toast evenly. If your air fryer has a double-decker basket, you can use both, but keep in mind that the top basket toasts faster. The ideal temperature for toasting bread is 170°C (340°F ).
To toast bread in an air fryer, you have two options: either place the slices directly in the air fryer basket , flat , in which case you can toast as many slices as fit on the surface of your fryer at once (usually 2 or 4), or use a rack to place the bread slices vertically.
This latter option is one of the air fryer accessories that you can easily buy at kitchenware stores, and it's especially useful when you want to toast several slices at once. However, if that's not the case, you won't need it, as you can toast the bread without the rack, as explained below.
The toasting time for perfectly toasted bread is 3 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other if you place the slices flat. If you use a rack, the toasting time will be about 4 minutes. Bread toasted this way in the air fryer is ideal for serving at breakfast with a drizzle of olive oil, or with butter and jam for a sweeter breakfast.
