How To Cook Cinnamon Roll Braid In The Air Fryer

Roll Out The Pizza Dough: Lightly flour a wooden cutting board. Roll out the pizza dough to 1/4 inch thick

Prepare The Filling: In a small bowl combine softened butter, maple extract, brown sugar, cane sugar, and cinnamon.

Roll It Up: Brush the dough with the buttery cinnamon sugar mixture. Tightly roll the dough into a log, making sure the seam is on the bottom. 

Cut The Rolls: Take a pair of kitchen shears and cut a slit every 1” down the length of the dough. 

Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375° for five minutes. Take each section of the dough and gently pull it to rest on the alternating left and right sides of the log. Then, form the log into a circle and tuck the end pieces inside of each other to seal. Place the cinnamon roll into the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes.

• Heavy Cream: You can also use oat milk, or almond milk if you want a dairy-free option.
• Confectioner’s Sugar: For the best results, I recommend sifting your powdered sugar.

Pro Tips For The Best Air Fried Cinnamon Roll Braid

With the holidays right around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about your baking game plan. If you’re looking for something a little different and extra delicious, why not try out this air fried cinnamon roll braid recipe? It’s simple to make and sure to impress your guests! Here are some pro tips to help you get the best results.

• Pizza Dough: Make sure that your pizza dough is fully defrosted, before starting to prepare this recipe. I find that pizza dough is easier to roll when it is at room temperature.
• Spray Your Basket: To prevent the bread from sticking to the air fryer basket, make sure you either spray your basket with cooking spray or use some parchment paper. Both will prevent the dough from sticking to the basket.
• Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, it’s important that you check on your cinnamon braid as it cooks up. Remove the cinnamon roll braid when it’s fully cooked.
• Glaze: Make sure that your cinnamon roll braid bread is slightly cooled, before adding the glaze, otherwise the glaze will run off, and melt. You can also serve the cinnamon roll braid with leftover glaze, for a great dipping sauce!
