Thanks for the easy recipe! Just wondering if I substitute whole wheat flour for the all-purpose, would there by any other change to the recipe?

Delicious! I proofed it in the Instant Pot and then used my new Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid and baked it! I used the 45 minute cook time and it turned out AMAZING! Crispy crust and soft on the inside!

Fully confident it will be a 5 star! Bread is rising now…I can hardly stand the simplicity of it all. Sure beats heating up the oven for just one loaf of bread. And it is a rather “quiet” recipe as it does not require 7 minutes of kneading in a Bosch or KitchenAid. Yeah!
