What changes in oven-style air fry mode

How it varies by air fryer

Bread thickness can change the time by 1–2 minutes.

Tips

  • Bread is light and can blow around. Keep it toward the back of the basket, or butter the top to weigh it down.
  • Check from 3 minutes. It can go from golden to burnt in a minute.

Troubleshooting

  • Burnt outside, cold inside: frozen bread. Lower to 325°F (160°C) and cook longer.
