Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast:
-
In a bowl, combine warm milk with yeast and 1 tbsp sugar. Mix well and set aside to rest until foamy (about 10 minutes).
2. Make the Dough:
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and remaining sugar.
-
On a clean surface, make a mound of dry ingredients and create a well in the center.

Add the egg and softened butter, slowly combining with your hands.
-
Gradually add the yeast-milk mixture while kneading.
-
The dough may feel sticky initially—add flour slowly until it forms a smooth, soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
Pro Tip: Kneading is essential for a soft, elastic dough—don’t rush this step!
3. First Rise:
-
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and turn it to coat.
-
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm area for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. Assemble the Rolls:
-
Roll dough out into a rectangle, about 1 cm thick.
-
Brush generously with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar evenly over the top.
-
Roll the dough tightly and cut into 1.5 cm thick slices.

Place slices on a parchment-lined baking tray and allow to rise again for about 30 minutes.
5. Air Fry to Perfection:
-
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
-
Carefully transfer rolls with parchment paper into the air fryer basket.
-
Cook for 5 minutes, flip, and bake another 5 minutes until golden brown.
