I've been testing out the Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven (Model: TOA-65C) and it's blowing my doors off. I've baked everything from bread to sopapilla in it, and it makes the crispiest fries without any added oil. Just a note because it's come up: air fryers have smaller chambers and higher speed air circulation than a convection oven. Convection is not the same as air fry.

A few people have asked for my bread recipe. I make a modified version of my Grandma's recipe. I use a kitchen scale to measure.
Shelly's Bread
600 ml warm water
12 grams active yeast
1 tsp sugar
1000 grams flour
100 ml olive oil
1 tsp salt
Mix yeast and sugar in water. Let stand until foamy (about 10 min.)
Mix flour and salt. Add oil to flour mixture, then pour in yeast mixture.
Mix well with a dough hook on a stand mixer (that's what I use). Once the dough pulls away from walls of the bowl, let stand for 10 min. The dough might be sticky. Don't add more flour.
Mix again for a minute. Let stand for 10 min. Mix again for a third time. The dough shouldn't be sticky anymore.
Put the dough ball in an oiled bowl and cover it with a towel. Let sit for about an hour.
The dough should double in volume after an hour. Once it has you can make into bread loaves or buns. It makes 3 standard size bread loaves and around 16 buns. I weigh the dough out before making buns and I usually use 75 grams per bun. The toaster oven will only fit 8 buns at a time.
Let your bread loaves or buns rise for about an hour before you bake them. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
I've got a system for baking both buns and bread loaves for 30 minutes total. You rotate the loaf pan at the 15-minute point, and at the end of 30 minutes, you brush with butter before pulling it out.
