This is my new go to bread recipe. So simple and customizable! I used strong white bread flour and added some seeds to the dough and it came out beautifully. Like another commenter here wrote, I flipped it for the last five minutes to brown the bottom. The outside was beautifully crisp and the inside came out super soft. 10/10 would recommend this recipe!

This my first foray into bread making. Not the best experience, but I will continue, making changes as I go, in an effort to remove UPF from my diet. I used Doves wholemeal Spelt Flour and a Ninja airfryer. The result has barely risen throughout the body of the loaf but has 1 huge airgap just below the crust. I think that may be because of the proving method. I have noticed a proving setting on the airfryer so will try that next time instead. The dough was very wet once mixed so I would recommend using less fluid if using Spelt flour. Finally the crust is bullet proof even though it was only cooked for 20 mins, so I may reduce the cooking temperature & turn the loaf over before the end next time. Onwards and upwards! Making the butter to go on it was a doddle though!

the bread turned out surprisingly delicious. I added some seeds to the dough and used melted ghee instead of butter. I flipped the bread for the last 5 minutes to brown the bottom
