Delightfully fluffy and sweet cinnamon rolls made easily in an air fryer, perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast until well combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: After rising, roll the dough out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Add Filling: Spread the brown sugar evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
  7. Form the Rolls: Starting from one end, carefully roll up the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seams to seal.
  8. Slice the Rolls: Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are spaced a little apart for even cooking.
  9. Air Fry the Rolls: Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Cook the rolls for 8 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  11. Drizzle Icing: Once the rolls are done, drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.

Notes

Use warm milk to activate the yeast. Knead the dough thoroughly for best results.
