- Check early – Air fryers vary; peek at 6 minutes.
- Keep dough cold – Easier to handle straight from the fridge.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the rolls, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Air fry from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes.
Can I use an oven instead?
Absolutely. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to regain crispiness.
