  Air Fried Sugared Dough Dippers with Chocolate Amaretto Sauce

  (Prep + Cook Time: 35 minutes | Servings: 10)

  Ingredients:

  1 pound bread dough, defrosted

  ½ cup butter, melted

  ¾ to 1 cup sugar

  1 cup heavy cream

  12 oz good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips

  2 tbsp Amaretto liqueur (or almond extract)

  Directions:

  Roll the dough into two 15-inch logs. Cut each log into 20 slices. Cut each slice in half and twist the dough halves together 3 to 4 times.

  Place the twisted dough on a cookie sheet, brush with melted butter and sprinkle sugar over the dough twists.

  Pre-heat the Air Fryer to 350F.

  Brush the bottom of the Air Fryer basket with melted butter. Air-fry the dough twists in batches. Place 8 to 12 (depending on the size of your Air Fryer) in the Air Fryer basket.

  Air-fry for 5 minutes. Turn the dough strips over and brush the other side with butter. Air-fry for an additional 3 minutes.

  While dough is cooking, make the chocolate amaretto sauce. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat. Place the chocolate chips in a large bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate starts to melt.

  Then switch to a wire whisk and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the Amaretto. Transfer to a serving dish.

  As the batches of dough twists are complete, place them into a shallow dish. Brush with melted butter and generously coat with sugar, shaking the dish to cover both sides.

  Serve the sugared dough dippers with the warm chocolate Amaretto sauce on the side.

  Cinnamon Rolls

  (Prep + Cook Time: 45 minutes | Servings: 8)

  Ingredients:

  1 pound frozen bread dough, thawed

  ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled

  ¾ cup brown sugar

  1½ tbsp ground cinnamon

  Cream Cheese Glaze:

  4 ounces cream cheese, softened

  2 tbsp butter, softened

  1¼ cups powdered sugar

  ½ tsp vanilla

  Directions:

  Let the bread dough come to room temperature on the counter. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough into a 13-inch by 11-inch rectangle. Position the rectangle so the 13-inch side is facing you. Brush the melted butter all over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border uncovered along the edge farthest away from you.

  Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough, keeping the 1-inch border uncovered. Roll the dough into a log starting with the edge closest to you. Roll the dough tightly, making sure to roll evenly and push out any air pockets. When you get to the uncovered edge of the dough, press the dough onto the roll to seal it together.

  Cut the log into 8 pieces, slicing slowly with a sawing motion so you don’t flatten the dough. Turn the slices on their sides and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the rolls sit in the warmest part of your kitchen for 1½ to 2 hours to rise.

  To make the glaze, place the cream cheese and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Soften the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until it is easy to stir. Gradually add the powdered sugar and stir to combine. Add the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

  When the rolls have risen, pre-heat the Air Fryer to 350F.

  Transfer 4 of the rolls to the Air Fryer basket. Air-fry for 5 minutes. Turn the rolls over and air-fry for another 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 4 rolls.

  Let the rolls cool for a couple of minutes before glazing. Spread large dollops of cream cheese glaze on top of the warm cinnamon rolls, allowing some of the glaze to drip down the side of the rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
