Why this recipe works
Soft cinnamon rolls in a small batch
In the air fryer, yeast dough quickly browns from above. A moderate temperature and a not too high baking pan help to finish the middle before the surface is dark. Six small cinnamon rolls fit in a baking pan of about 18 cm; they may just touch themselves after the second walk.
