Recipe

In a bowl, combine corn syrup (or oligodang) and sugar in a 2:1 volume ratio and mix well to create the syrup.
Place wooden chopsticks under a thick slice of bread (about 5cm thick) and make deep, crisscross cuts in a grid pattern without cutting all the way through to the bottom.
Gently spread open the cuts with your fingers or a knife, generously applying the prepared syrup deep inside. Spread any remaining syrup over the top surface of the bread.
Evenly distribute sliced or chopped butter over the top of the bread.
When placing the bread in the air fryer basket, fold down the sides of the parchment paper to allow hot air to circulate effectively.
Bake in a preheated air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown.
Transfer the finished bread to a plate and serve with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Mix corn syrup and sugar in a 2:1 ratio, and make deep crisscross cuts in the bread.
Generously apply the syrup into the cuts, then evenly top with butter.
Bake in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, then serve with cream or ice cream.

Cooking tips

Placing wooden chopsticks under the bread while scoring helps prevent cutting all the way through to the bottom.
Applying syrup only to the surface will result in dry insides; the key is to spread it deep into the bread by opening the cuts.
If the parchment paper sides are too high in the air fryer, the sides may not brown well. Fold the paper down to allow better air circulation.
If you have real honey at home, you can use it instead of sugar and corn syrup.
