Crispy on the outside, unbelievably soft and buttery on the inside—that's what makes Japanese salt bread so addictive. This recipe keeps that classic bakery texture while creating a lighter, fluffier crumb that stays soft even after cooling. They're perfect fresh from the oven, but they're just as delicious after a few minutes in the air fryer, making them ideal for meal prep and freezer breakfasts. Once you have a batch ready to go, warm homemade salt bread is never more than a few minutes away. 🤍
