- Butter a pan and set aside.
- Combine the butter, yeast, salt, sugar and 1 cup warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 cup of the flour at a time, waiting for each addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once all the flour is added, kneed for 8 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Add the pan to the air fryer and cook at 200 degrees. Cook until the bread is dark brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a rack to cool completely.
