Traditional & Air Fryer Fried Bread

Traditional & Air Fryer Fried Bread – Two methods of making this British Greasy Spoon classic breakfast accompaniment, frying pan & air fryer

Tradtional Frying Pan and Air Fryer Methods

Fried Bread! A Greasy Spoon classic, and breakfast staple for many during the war. My recipe today for Traditional & Air Fryer Fried Bread, shares two methods of making it.

Firstly, the traditional way, which is as it says on the box, bread fried in fat in a frying pan. The 2nd way is slightly healthier, and less mess, as the bread is “fried” in a air fryer.

Both ways work well with a Full English Breakfast, or even with fried bacon, poached eggs, or just bacon and eggs too.

This is my latest recipe in my lates series for Air Fryer recipes. Today’s recipe for Traditional & Air Fryer Fried Bread was air fried in my Ninja Dual Zone two drawer Air fryer.

However, it can be cooked in any air fryer that has room to place slices of bread horizontally in the basket, or drawer.

Serve this fried bread, whether it was pan fried or air fried, with eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, fried potatoes, tomatoes and baked beans.

I hope you enjoy this latest recipe for how to get the most out of your air fryer. Please do let me know in the comments below if you made it too, see you soon, Karen

Cooking Notes

• White bread works best for fried bread.
• For a more slimming version, spray the bread on both sides with low-fat spray oil.
• If the grease of fat you are using has solidified, spoon it on to the bread, and then spread it with a knife for the air fyer version.
• Thick slices of bread work best when being pan fried.
