With so many air fryers in kitchens across the country now, air fryer recipes are in hot demand. Did you know you can cook bread in this magic machine? We think you need to make these soft air fryer pretzels ASAP for your family!

Warm water, active dry yeast, granulated sugar and olive oil are mixed together and allowed to bloom for five minutes. Then stir in all-purpose flour or bread flour and kosher salt to form a dough. The dough is kneaded for about five minutes, then separated into individual balls. The balls are formed into pretzels, brushed with an egg wash and air fried for about six to seven minutes. Simple!

Serve these soft pretzels with a cheese sauce for dipping. You could also make garlic butter pretzels by brushing a garlic butter on them instead of an egg wash before cooking. How about sweet pretzels? Make cinnamon-sugar pretzels by omitting the sea salt on top and sprinkling with ground cinnamon and sugar.

Don't have an air fryer? No worries! Bake the pretzels on a baking sheet in a traditional oven at 375 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until golden. Store the pretzels in an airtight container. You can also freeze the pretzels for up to three months. To reheat, thaw and then bake at 350 degrees F for about 2 minutes.
