To make delicious and fluffy crescent rolls in an air fryer, you need a few basic ingredients. You will need 1¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast, 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted and cooled), ¾ cup of warm water (about 110F), and egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
Once you have gathered your ingredients it is time to get started making your crescent rolls! Begin by adding the flour, sugar, salt and yeast into a mixing bowl. Mix together until everything is evenly incorporated. In a separate bowl combine the melted butter with the warm water. Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then roll out on a lightly floured surface into an 18×12 inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Beginning at the wide end of each triangle, tightly roll up all edges towards the point of each triangle to form crescent rolls.
Place the crescent rolls in the preheated air fryer, brush with egg wash and bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow your crescent rolls to cool before serving. Enjoy!
