Preparing toast in an air fryer might seem unconventional, but it’s surprisingly simple and efficient. Start by selecting your favourite bread—whether it’s a hearty sourdough or a classic wholemeal—and cut it to your preferred thickness. Place the slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there's enough space for air to circulate around them.

Set the temperature to around 180 degrees Celsius and timer for approximately 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how golden you like your toast. You can pause the air fryer halfway to check the progress and flip the bread if necessary.

The result is delightfully crisp on the outside while remaining soft within, making it perfect for slathering with butter or your chosen toppings. Serve it warm alongside a cup of tea for a quintessentially British start to your day—or a delightful afternoon treat!
