How to make it

  1. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). A 2–3 minute preheat is optional but helps browning.
  2. Cook for 30–40 minutes. No flipping needed.
  3. Check doneness with a thermometer: it's ready at an internal temperature of 160°F.

Tip: Use a small loaf pan or shape a free-form loaf. Glaze at the 25-minute mark.

Times assume a standard 1500–1800W basket air fryer. Compact or very full baskets can need 2–3 extra minutes; large oven-style units often finish a bit sooner.
