No Knead Air Fryer Bread - Recipe!

Did you know that we should eat 30g of fibre per day and most of us don't. Experts say that on average men need to increase their fibre intake by 50% and women by 75%! While fibre may not have the glamorous allure of trendy superfoods, fibre is an unsung hero in our diets, playing a crucial role in our overall health and well being. And what better way to celebrate the importance of fibre than by incorporating it into a delicious and wholesome bread recipe which can be cooked in the air fryer!

This makes one loaf of bread and has 4 to 6 servings.

There is 61.3g of fibre in the whole loaf of bread and it is delicious with a high fibre sandwich filling like hummus and vegetables or cheese and apple! 

Ingredients:

480g of wholemeal bread flour.

120g of high fibre seed mix.

1 packet (7g) of fast action yeast.

1 teaspoon of salt.

480ml of warm water.

 

Equipment:

Large mixing bowl

Damp cloth

A loaf or cake tin which fits in your air fryer lined with parchment.

Aluminium foil.

Air fryer.

Method:

Combine the yeast, wholemeal flour, 100g mixed seeds and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and bring everything together to form a sticky dough. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for at least one hour.

Once the dough has doubled in size, tip it out onto a lightly floured surface, deflate the dough by punching out the air, sprinkle more flour on top and shape it into a ball before placing it into the lined cake tin.

Score the top, sprinkle with the remaining seed mix, re-cover with the damp cloth and leave to rise for 10 15 minutes.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°c.

Cover the dough lightly with aluminium foil and place the whole thing in the air fryer and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil from the top and continue to bake the bread for a further 15-20 minutes until golden on top.

Carefully remove the bread from the Air Fryer and the tin and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

This recipe was created for the #FibreFebruary initiative, launched by UK Flour Millers, to help consumers eat the recommended amount of daily fibre while highlighting flour’s connection to fibre. You can find more information about Fibre February over on the FAB Flour website.
