Unless you\u2019re blessed with more room than you need (and clearly don\u2019t live in a New York City apartment like myself), chances are you simply don\u2019t have room for your coffee station, toaster oven, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/3-ingredient-instant-pot-recipes\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/3-ingredient-instant-pot-recipes\/\">Instant Pot<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p>Well, there\u2019s some good news: that toaster you use every morning? There\u2019s another more versatile appliance that\u2019s even better at crisping up thick, golden slices of sourdough to try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/cottage-cheese-toast-recipe\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/cottage-cheese-toast-recipe\/\">next viral toast trend<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you love them or haven\u2019t yet given one a fair try, an air fryer is a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sourdough-bread-air-fryer\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sourdough-bread-air-fryer\/\">do-it-all countertop oven<\/a> that just so happens to make excellent (ne\u2019er I say <em>better?<\/em>) toast than your trusty toaster. Why? Because not only do you get reliable results, but you also have more control over the toasting job. We\u2019ve all experienced the disappointment of a toaster taking your fresh artisan bread from golden to setting off the smoke detector within minutes. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/air-fryer-french-toast-recipe\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/air-fryer-french-toast-recipe\/\">with an air fryer<\/a>, you can pop open the drawer mid-cook for a progress report. What&#8217;s more, you can cook your toppings as you &#8216;cook&#8217; your bread.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to part with that ubiquitous single-use appliance once and for all, here\u2019s what to know about making excellent toast in an air fryer.<\/p>\n<h2>How to make toast in an air fryer<\/h2>\n<p>The first step to making toast in the air fryer is by far the most important: butter your bread. You should never put pre-buttered bread into a slot-style toaster at the risk of filling your kitchen with smoke or ruining your toaster. But the beauty of the basket (or rack, depending on what type of air fryer you own) is that you can slather one side of your bread with a luscious spread, place it dry side down in the air fryer, and cook away.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/toast-in-air-fryer\/\" current-title=\"Your Air Fryer Is the Best Toaster\" current-image=\"Stocksy_txpc908d40aepj300_Small_2354927-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-12-29\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/toast-in-air-fryer\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/toast-in-air-fryer\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/toast-in-air-fryer\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The dry convection heat will surround your bread, melting the butter deep into its nooks and crannies while simultaneously crisping up all of its delicious surface area. The result is a beautifully golden-brown slice of sourdough or a dark and toasty piece of pumpernickel that has buttery flavor in every bite.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The dry convection heat will surround your bread, melting the butter deep into its nooks and crannies while simultaneously crisping up all of its delicious surface area.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For further flavor, try air frying bread spread with a compound butter that\u2019s herby, spicy, or speckled with everything bagel seasoning. You could even top your toast with shredded or sliced cheese for an instant cheese toasty, no broiling necessary. And if dairy&#8217;s not your favorite (in the morning or otherwise), you cannot beat a slice of air fryer toast shmeared with warmed almond butter and banana.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best temperature for making air fryer toast?<\/h3>\n<p>Air fryers are pretty forgiving when it comes to temperature, but I like to crank it all the way up for the fastest browning. My air fryer taps out at 400\u00b0F, but you could toast as low as 350\u00b0F if you have a few extra minutes or need to step away and are concerned about burning.<\/p>\n<p>The cook time depends on the size and kind of bread you\u2019re working with. Thicker, denser slices will need a few more minutes, while bread with ingredients that brown quickly like nuts, seeds, or sugars will take as little as four to five minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Which is the best air fryer for making toast?<\/h3>\n<p>As a chef, food writer and product reviewer, I\u2019ve tested many air fryers, and the one I\u2019ve found is the most versatile (and aesthetically-pleasing) is the new <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pjatr.com%2Ft%2F8-12489-270671-217808%3Fsid%3DSTMSFD-1060543%26website%3D378726%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffromourplace.com%252Fproducts%252Fwonder-oven%253Fvariant%253D43276070781122&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Ftoast-in-air-fryer%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/fromourplace.com\/products\/wonder-oven?variant=43276070781122\">Wonder Oven from Our Place<\/a>.
