  4. Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, bring water in a large pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Add baking soda to the boiling water. Carefully drop dough balls into the water and cook until they float to the top.

  6. Using a slotted spoon remove dough balls once they float to the top and transfer to the air fryer basket in one line. You might need to cook them in batches.

Cook's Note:

I do not suggest lining the air fryer with parchment liners, as the dough will stick to the parchment.
