📝 Instructions
Step 1

Step 2
Spread garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 4

🔬 The Science
Garlic bread works well in the air fryer because it only needs surface browning — the bread interior is already cooked. The circulating air crisps the buttered surface quickly while the short cook time keeps the interior soft. Fresh garlic gives a sharper flavor than garlic powder; both work but the result tastes different.
FAQ
❓ Can I add cheese?
Yes — add mozzarella in the last 1-2 minutes so it melts but doesn't burn.
