Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
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 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
Shape the Dough:
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf that fits into your air fryer basket.
Air Fry the Bread:
Place the shaped dough into the preheated air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool and Slice:
Allow the bread to cool before slicing.
Optional: Brush with Butter:
For added flavor, you can brush the top of the bread with melted butter immediately after it comes out of the air fryer.
