Air Fryer Baked Cinnamon Rolls

Directions

1. Heat the milk and 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan until warm and melted, never reaching boiling. Remove from heat and let cool to 100°F. It should be warm but not too hot, or it will kill the yeast.
2. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle on yeast. Let activate for 10 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar and the salt and stir.
3. Next, add in 1 cup of flour at a time, stirring as you go. The dough will be sticky. When it is too thick to mix, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or so until it forms a loose ball. Rinse your mixing bowl out, coat it with canola oil, and add your dough ball back in. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with 3 tablespoons of melted butter and top with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of cinnamon (to taste).
5. Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough and situate seam side down. Then with a serrated knife or a string of floss, cut the dough into 2-inch sections and position in a well-buttered round pan (you should have about 10 rolls). Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (melted) and cover with plastic wrap.
6. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
7. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown in the air fryer. Let cool for a few minutes and then serve immediately.
8. Frost with cream cheese frosting.
9. Enjoy the baked cinnamon rolls while it’s warm!
