Preparation
- Stir together the flour, yogurt, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until evenly combined and a soft dough forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead gently for 3–5 minutes, just until the dough becomes smooth and pliable, adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too sticky.
- Dust the dough surface again with flour, and roll the dough out into a rough rectangle about 12x16 inches.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the dough all the way to the edges.
- Starting from a short edge, roll the dough up tightly. Trim off the uneven outer ends, then cut the log evenly into 7 (1½-inch) pieces.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Coat a 7-inch round baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish with 1 roll in the center and 6 rolls around the sides.
- Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket, and cook for 7–10 minutes, until the tops are golden and the centers are cooked through.
- Stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.
- While still warm, drizzle the glaze over the tops of the rolls. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Serve.
- Enjoy!
