I wanted to experiment whether I can use the air fryer to bake this. So here is
my Water Kefir Sweet Potato Bread. I should have added more to intensify the color and perhaps next round, will add in some real sweet potato in it.
Oberservation: The bread baked nicely with a nice crust. Unfortunately, the crumb was not so ideal as I had over handled the dough. Due to my poor timing, I thought I could get it done after my errand but it was getting late and I decided to cold ferment it instead.I should not have work on it more after my errand. I should have just left it to proof in the fridge instead.
This time round, I did not add any water, and also my lame was not sharp. So it only got a little ear. I am not sure about this but will attempt it again, with water and a sharp lame next round.Overall, the texture is really soft and nice!
I am beginning to love this portion size as it is good enough for just three of us. It gives me more opportunity to try new flavours.
