Lightly dust your hands with a little flour. Take the dough mixture and use your hands to squeeze and form it into four individual boule (round) shapes. The dough should feel firm and pliable, not soft or sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of additional flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, and knead it in until the desired consistency is reached.

Using a sharp knife, carefully score the top of each boule with a cross or a few parallel lines. This helps the bread to expand evenly during baking.

To air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the boules in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 20 minutes. To oven bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the boules on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35 minutes.

After the initial cooking time, check if the bread is cooked through. If the center still feels doughy or undercooked, carefully turn the boules over (if air frying, remove any baking paper first) and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
