Mix it up - Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
½ cup Dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
Roll out the dough - On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough with a rolling pin. Roll the dough until it is approximately ⅛” thick, and a 12”x18” large rectangle.
16 oz Pizza dough
Spread the butter & sprinkle on brown sugar - Next, spread the softened butter in a thick and even layer onto the pizza dough. Use a rubber spatula or clean hands. Sprinkle the brown sugar & cinnamon mixture onto the pizza dough in an even layer.
½ cup Salted butter, ½ cup Dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
Roll the dough into a log - Roll the dough into a long log, keeping the rolls tight. You will want to roll from the long side edge of the dough. This will form a longer log with the right amount of layers in the roll. Push the ends of the log in when you finish rolling for the same thickness throughout.
Cut the log into pieces - Now that your dough is rolled, use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 8 equal pieces. If you are using dental floss, slip the floss under the log of dough, and cross it over on top to cut through the dough.
Let the dough rest - Next, arrange the rolls in a single layer on a lined air fryer basket. You can use parchment paper or a silicone air fryer liner. Cover the basket with a towel, and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
Make the cream cheese frosting - While the dough is resting, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Add the butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer or a mixing bowl if you are using a handheld mixer. Whip together until combined. Then add the powdered sugar to the bowl, and continue to whip until combined. Finish with vanilla extract. If you want a thinner frosting, add in 2 tablespoon of milk.
½ cup Salted butter, 8 oz Cream cheese, 3 ½ cup Confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
