TikTok Air Fryer Pineapple Toast

4.5
(2)

Despite the name, this pineapple toast doesn't have any pineapple in it. It's the golden, crackly pineapple skin-appearance that gives this dish its name. Soft and sweet with a buttery, crackly topping, this simple pastry has a contrast of textures you won't be able to resist. Inspired by a traditional, Hong Kong bakery-style bolo bao or pineapple bun, this recipe is a fun, easy twist on the Chinese sweet bun, adapted from cristina_yin on TikTok. Milk bread can be found in most Asian bakeries and makes for the softest, lightest base for this single-serve snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter, softened

  • 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 slice milk bread

  • 1 large egg

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

  2. Use a fork to blend the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Mix in flour and combine until smooth, reaching a cookie dough-like texture.

  3. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the slice of milk bread, smearing until smooth. Use a knife to score the bread topping with criss-cross lines that resemble a pineapple skin. In a small bowl, beat the egg to form an egg wash. Carefully spread a thin layer over the bread topping.

  4. Cook the bread in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes; turn up the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Continue to cook bread slice until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
