Air fryer mini bread bowls are fast and easy, ready in about 10 minutes. Look for sturdy rolls with a firm crust that won't collapse when filled. Below, you'll find the simple instructions and timing to crisp them up.
Ingredients
- 4 small round bread rolls (about 4 inches across, a sturdy crust is best)
- Olive oil spray

Steps
- 01Cut a circle in the top of each roll, about 1/2 inch from the edge. Don't cut all the way through.
- 02Pull out the bread from the center, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread on the sides and bottom. You want a hollow bowl, not a paper-thin shell.
- 03Save the bread you pulled out. It makes croutons or breadcrumbs.
- 04Spray the inside of each bowl lightly with oil.
- 05Ready for the air fryer. The oil and heat crisp the inside so it doesn't get soggy when you add soup or dip.
The crust matters more than the size. A soft dinner roll collapses when you fill it with hot soup. Look for rolls with a firm crust, like small boules or ciabatta rounds. If you can only find soft rolls, give them an extra 2 minutes in the air fryer to firm up before filling.
