Ingredients

  • 4 Frozen Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls
  • 4 T. Butter melted
  • 3 T. Sugar mixed with 1 T. Cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar to taste

Instructions

  • Evenly place 4 Rhodes Rolls in a greased Instant Pot. Lock the lid (don’t need to seal), and proof on LOW Yogurt for 2 hours or until double in size. It’s best if the dough does not touch.
  • Alternatively, proof the dough in a greased glass pan or cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place free of drafts for 3-5 hours or until doubles in size. There should be specific instructions on the package.
  • After proofing, carefully remove the dough and cut or snip into 4 even pieces with scissors. Do not pull or deflate the dough.
  • Dip into melted butter, then cinnamon sugar.
  • Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 350 for 3-4 minutes. You may have to do multiple batches, depending on the size of your basket.
  • Serve with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
