Instructions

In a large glass bowl, combine the warm water, raw honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy
Add the extra virgin olive oil and sea salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until a shaggy dough forms
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic
Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover it with a warm, damp cloth. Let it rise for 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in size
Gently punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf
Place the shaped dough on parchment paper and allow it to rest for another 15 to 20 minutes, optionally scoring the top
Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and bake the loaf for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing

Notes

Ensure the water temperature is around 105°F to activate the yeast properly.

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for the best crust quality.
