For the crispiest start to the day, try this Air Fryer Sourdough Toast. It's hard to explain how it's different from just using a toaster but somehow it is! Air fried toast holds up really well whether piled high with smashed avocado, creamy scrambled eggs, smothered in butter and jam or used as the base of a beautiful bruschetta.
If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Cut 2 slices Sourdough Bread. Or however many slices you wish to serve/can fit in your air fryer without overlapping.
Place the slices onto the grill rack of the air fryer basket. Use tongs if the air fryer is preheated.
Cook for 5 minutes at 200c/390f. If you prefer a darker toast, continue cooking until you are satisfied with the colour.
Use tongs to turn each slice over.
Cook for a further 2 minutes at 200c/390f. As before, if you want more colour, continue cooking until you are happy.
Serve!
Notes
This recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can comfortably cook 2 slices of sourdough cut from a 470g sourdough boule. Slice sizes will vary from loaf to loaf and how thick you decide to cut them.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
