Air Fryer Bread Rolls

Ingredients

  • 120 Bread flour
  • 1 Instant yeast (high sugar tolerant)
  • 15 Sugar
  • 1 Whole egg
  • 60 Milk
  • 10 Butter
  • to taste White sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and milk. Add 20g of beaten egg and mix until it forms shaggy clumps. Tip: One egg yields about 60g of beaten egg; save the remaining egg for brushing the bread later.
  2. Knead the dough until smooth, then add softened butter and continue kneading. Use the slap-and-fold technique to develop gluten until you can stretch a windowpane (glove membrane). Let rise in a warm place until doubled and springs back when pressed.
  3. Punch down the risen dough to release air, then roll it out into a rough rectangle and cut into triangles.
  4. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to form crescent shapes. Place in the air fryer basket and let proof for another 20-30 minutes. After the second rise, brush with the reserved egg wash and sprinkle with white sesame seeds (black sesame works too).
  5. Air fry at 150°C (300°F) for 18-20 minutes. Note: Different air fryer models vary in temperature and timing, so adjust accordingly. Flip halfway through to prevent one side from drying out too much.
  6. Tear and enjoy! Simple to make, soft, fluffy, and deliciously sweet.
