Instructions:
- Activate the yeast:

- Let it rise:
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the air fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Divide and shape the dough:
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into smaller portions.
- Roll each portion into a round or oval shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Air fry:
- Place the shaped dough into the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each piece.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
