Instruction

  • Place milk in a microwave safe container and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Pour warm milk into a mixing bowl and add yeast.
  • Add sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until completely combined.
  • Stir in flour and salt until dough begins to form.
  • Using a stand mixer, attach dough hook and mix on medium until dough forms into a ball and is not sticking to the mixing bowl. Add some flour if too sticky. If using hands to knead, knead the dough for 10 minutes on a floured surface until dough is no longer sticky.
  • Place the dough ball in a well-oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Place bowl on the counter for an hour and a half to allow for the dough to double in size.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface and flatten with a rolling pin until the dough is roughly a square foot of surface. (12”x12”)
  • Rub room temperature butter to cover the dough leaving a slight margin around the dough.
  • Combine the cinnamon and brown sugar and sprinkle over the butter to complete the filling.
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into inch and a half wide strips.
  • Roll the strips into themselves until all are rolled into a wheel. Place dough wheel into spring mold pan that fits the air fryer basket. Cover pan with cloth and allow dough to sit for 15 minutes.
  • Cook in air fryer for 20 minutes on 350 degrees.
  • Remove cinnamon roll from air fryer and allow to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter until frosting is combined completely.
  • Top the cinnamon roll with the frosting and enjoy!
