Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 stick salted butter softened (110g)
4 garlic cloves (minced or finely diced)
¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
flour for dusting
16 ounces pizza dough (454g)

For the garlic butter baste

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 garlic clove (minced or finely diced)

Instructions

Make sure that your pizza dough is thawed and at room temperature and your butter is softened.
Mix together the stick of butter, 4 garlic cloves and parsley together in a bowl and set to one side.
Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into an oblong shape.
Spread the garlic herb butter over the pizza dough in an even layer. You may find that using your hands will help with this.
Roll up the pizza dough into a log, short end to short end.
Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill, or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
While chilling, make the garlic butter baste by melting 2 tablespoons of butter with a minced garlic clove in a pan on the stovetop on a low medium heat.
Preheat the air fryer to 400F / 200c.
Cut the log into slices so that you get 8 pinwheels.
Oil the bottom of the air fryer basket and place in the pinwheels. Brush the tops with the melted garlic butter.
Cook at 400F / 200c for 10 to 13 minutes til golden brown.

Notes

Your pizza dough should be at room temperature when you roll it out. Let it sit on the countertop for 30 minutes to an hour before rolling.
Make sure that your butter is softened.
Pizza dough is very sticky, so flour your work surface well before rolling it out. It's pretty stretchy, so use a mixture of a rolling pin and hand stretching to shape it.
Preheat your air fryer before placing in the rolls. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, let it run at 400F / 200c for 5 minutes.
Oil the bottom of your air fryer basket so that they don't stick.
Air fryer models can run slightly differently so cooking times may vary. The rolls are done when they are golden brown in color.
