Air Fryer Rolls

👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add in the yeast mixture and melted butter (plus the egg, if using).

Mix and knead until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms—about 5–7 minutes by hand or with a dough hook.

3. Let It Rise
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Rolls
Divide the dough into 8–10 equal balls. Roll them smooth and place them on a parchment-lined tray or straight into your air fryer basket (leaving a little space between each).

5. Second Rise (Optional)
Let them rest for 10–15 minutes to puff up slightly again—this helps them stay soft and rise nicely in the fryer.

6. Air Fry
Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C).

Air fry the rolls for 8–10 minutes, checking around minute 7. They should be golden on top and cooked through.

7. Finish with Butter
Brush warm rolls with melted butter for that irresistible soft, glossy finish.

🍽 Tips & Variations
Sweet version: Add a bit more sugar and a dash of vanilla for breakfast-style rolls.

Cheesy version: Mix in shredded cheddar or Parmesan.

No egg? Totally fine—skip it for a lighter roll.

These rolls are perfect for quick dinners, sliders, or even breakfast sandwiches. Want a garlic butter version or whole wheat option? I got you!
