All you need for this delicious air fryer bread rolls recipe are some basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 teaspoons of instant yeast,
• 1 cup of lukewarm milk
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour

So, let’s get started!

How To Make Bread Rolls in an Air Fryer:

1. First, grab a mixing bowl and crack in one medium-sized egg.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, and give it a quick mix.
3. Now, pour in 1 cup of lukewarm milk and mix it all together.
4. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil (or whatever cooking oil you have in your kitchen) and give it a good stir.
5. Finally, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and mix until it forms a dough. Easy peasy, right?
6. Now, spread some cooking oil on your kitchen counter and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes a smooth ball.
7. Pop the dough ball back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel.
8. Let it rise for about 30-40 minutes. While you wait, go ahead and grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea.
9. Okay, now that the dough has risen, it’s time to turn it into some delicious bread rolls.
10. Take the dough out of the bowl and make it into equal-sized dough balls.
11. Brush some cooking oil onto the air fryer basket and place the dough balls inside.
12. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
13. Now, it’s time for the grand finale. Brush the dough balls with an egg wash and bake them in the air fryer at 260°F (125°C) for about 10-15 minutes until they’re golden brown on top. You’ll know they’re done when your kitchen smells like heaven and your mouth is watering.

And that’s it! You now have some scrumptious homemade bread rolls that will impress your family and friends. Give it a try, and let me know in the comments below how it goes.

Make Them Sweet

If you want to make these air fryer bread rolls sweet and flavorful, you can add some raisins and cinnamon to the dough.

After adding the flour, mix in a handful of raisins and a generous pinch of ground cinnamon to the dough mixture. Knead the dough as you normally would, cover it with a towel, and let it rise.

Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal-sized pieces, shape them into rolls, and place them in the air fryer basket.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking for a deliciously sweet and fragrant bread roll.

Make Them Savory

To add some savory flavor to your air fryer bread rolls, there are several seasonings you can add to the dough. Fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano can be added to the dough mixture for a fragrant and delicious aroma.

You can also mix in some grated cheese and minced garlic to the dough to give it a more savory and flavorful taste.

Also, once the dough is shaped into rolls and placed in the air fryer, you can brush them with garlic butter or sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese to enhance the flavor even more.

With these simple additions, your air fryer bread rolls will become a tasty and versatile addition to any meal, especially to soup recipes.

So, next time you’re planning on making split pea soup or any other soup recipe, be sure to whip up a batch of these bread rolls to elevate your meal to the next level.
