Tips

• For best results we take the loaf of garlic bread out of the freezer when we start making the main dish we are going to serve it with. When the whole loaf is frozen it is hard to get apart so letting it sit out at room temperature while we make the main dish will help it come apart easier. 
• We use a butter knife to carefully separate the two halves of the loaf. 
• Check your bread after about 1-2 minutes before you think it might be done. Air fryer temperatures vary and you want to make sure your bread doesn’t get overcooked.
• This one is really important – subsequent batches of bread will probably have a little bit shorter cook time because the air fryer is already hot. I would start checking 2-3 minutes before you think it might be done. 
• We have a basket-style air fryer and we can fit almost all of the entire loaf in the air fryer. We choose to make 4 slices at a time because it is half of the loaf. If you have the toaster oven-style air fryer you will probably be able to fit all of the loaf at once.
