What type of bread can I toast in the air fryer?
Virtually any bread you like! Choose your favorite and just know that a lighter, airier bread (like white bread) will toast a little faster than a dense, thicker bread.
Sourdough bread is a favorite at our house, but you can use whole grain bread, whole wheat bread, seeded bread, artisan breads, white bread, your favorite gluten-free bread or even Texas toast!

Toast is best served immediately.
How to reheat
If you need to refresh your toast (before you have toppings on it), cook for 1 minute at 400 degrees F.
