🌯 Healthier Frikandel Rolls from the Air Fryer

Put the **plain flour**, **yeast**, **sugar** and **salt** in a large mixing bowl and stir briefly to combine.

Pour in the lukewarm water and tablespoon of olive oil. Knead for 5 to 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough that no longer sticks to your hands. *(If it is too wet, add a tiny bit of flour; if it is too dry, add a drop of water.)*

Shape the dough into a neat ball. Return it to the bowl, cover with a clean, damp tea towel and leave to rise for **45 to 60 minutes** in a warm, draught-free place, until doubled in volume.

Meanwhile, place the frikandellen on the counter so they can thaw fully at room temperature (about an hour).

Take the thawed frikandellen and pat them thoroughly dry with a piece of kitchen paper. This prevents the dough from becoming soggy inside.

Tip the risen dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently knock out the air and divide the dough into **4 equal pieces**.

Roll each piece of dough into a long rectangle that is just slightly longer than a frikandel and more than twice as wide.

Place a frikandel in the centre of a piece of dough. Squeeze a generous stripe of curry ketchup along the length of the frikandel.

Wrap the dough tightly around the frikandel. Press the edges and long seam together firmly (using the tines of a fork if necessary) so the curry does not leak out during baking.

Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow diagonal cuts in the top of the dough for that authentic frikandel-roll effect.

Preheat the air fryer to **180°C**.

Place a piece of baking paper in the bottom of the air-fryer basket. Leave the edges slightly uncovered so the hot air can circulate properly.

Place the rolls in the basket seam-side down. Make sure they **do not touch** (bake them in two batches if necessary). Brush the tops with a little milk or egg white for a beautiful golden-brown shine.

Bake the rolls for **10 to 12 minutes**, until golden brown and cooked through.

⚠️ **Take care with the first bite:** The curry inside can become piping hot in the air fryer. Let the rolls cool for a minute or two before tucking in!
