Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1

Pour warm milk into a mixing bowl and add yeast. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix in eggs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Stir in flour and salt until dough begins to form.

Step 2

Using a stand mixer, attach a dough hook and mix on medium until dough forms into a ball and is not sticking to the bowl. Add some flour if too sticky. If using hands to knead, knead the dough for 10 minutes on a floured surface until the dough is no longer sticky.

Step 3

Place the dough ball in a well-oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Place the bowl on the counter for an hour and a half to allow for the dough to double in size.

Step 4

Separate dough into two sections. Place one section of the dough on a floured surface and flatten with a rolling pin until the dough is roughly a square foot of surface.

Step 5

Rub room temperature butter over the dough, leaving a slight margin around the dough. Combine the cinnamon and sugar for the filling in a small bowl and sprinkle on top of buttered dough. Press it into the dough gently with your hands.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into inch and a half wide strips. Roll the strips into a spiral, with each strip building on the one before. Place dough wheel into spring mold pan that fits the air fryer basket. Cover the pan with a cloth and allow the dough to sit for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Cook in an air fryer for 20 minutes at 350°F. Meanwhile, prepare the second dough section into another cinnamon roll that you will cook when this one has finished in the air fryer.

Step 8

When done cooking, remove from air fryer and allow to cool before releasing from pan.

Step 9

In a medium bowl, beat to combine the frosting ingredients until smooth. Top the cinnamon roll with the frosting and enjoy!
