Dinner Rolls in the Air Fryer
The Kitchen Bucket List wants you to have warm dinner rolls as if you went out to dinner. An easy recipe made from scratch.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowls
- Danish Dough Hook (Optional)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose unbleached flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Mix slightly and let it sit until the yeast activates.
- Once the yeast is activated, it will foam (in about 4-5 minutes), add the oil and the egg. Mix to combine.
- Add the flour and the salt.
- Mix until the flour is incorporated.NOTE: For this recipe, I used a Danish dough whisk to show that this recipe is accessible to everyone. You can make it with a Danish dough whisk or wooden spatula (I wouldn’t recommend using a regular whisk as the dough gets trapped in the middle), or you can use a stand-up mixer.
- When mixing with a whisk or spatula you can mix until the flour is all incorporated or you can use your hands to finish incorporating the flour into the dough. I would recommend using the whisk until almost all the flour is incorporated and finished with your hands.
- Once you have a nice dough ball, place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled.
- Put the dough on a working surface and cut it into 7-8 pieces (If you have a scale they are approximately 3 oz. each).
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper.
- Place your rolls on the parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk an egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Using a pastry brush, gently brush the eggwash on the rolls.
- Air Fry on a manual setting at 320 degrees F. for 10-11 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 190 degrees F.
- Take the rolls out of the air fryer and place them on a cooling rack.NOTE: 5-10 minutes.
- Enjoy your warm and fresh dinner rolls!
