Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine white sugar, yeast, and warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix 300g of all-purpose flour with salt.

Step 3

Add half of the flour mixture to the yeast mixture and stir until combined, then add vanilla extract, half of the butter, and the egg.

Step 4

Add the remaining flour mixture, along with the rest of the butter and egg, and mix until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, using the remaining 50g of flour to prevent sticking, then let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Flatten the dough into a rectangle, spread a mixture of butter and vanilla over the surface, and fold into thirds.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 9 equal pieces, shape each into a log, slice into 3 strips, braid, and roll into a spiral.

Step 8

Place the shaped dough pieces into the air fryer.

Step 9

Air fry at 150°C for 8 minutes, then let them rest inside the fryer for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Brush the tops with melted butter before serving.

Pro Tips

#1

Use the extra flour sparingly during kneading to keep the dough soft and elastic.

#2

Ensure the milk is lukewarm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.

#3

Letting the dough rest inside the air fryer after cooking helps the centers finish setting.

#4

Brush the knots with butter immediately after cooking for a glossy finish.
