Instructions
Rolling and Filling
- 1
Trim off any bread crusts if using regular sliced sandwich bread.
- 2
Place the bread slices on a clean surface and flatten them completely with a rolling pin or smooth drinking glass until paper-thin and pliable.
- 3
Spread 1 tablespoon of dulce de leche across one edge of each slice, keeping away from the outer edges.
- 4
Roll tightly into a compact cigar shape. Press the seam gently to seal (you can insert a toothpick to secure the seam if needed).
- 5
Lightly brush the tops with a whisper of melted butter or water to help the cinnamon sugar stick.
Quick Air Frying
- 6
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 2 minutes.
- 7
Place the churros rolls seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
- 8
Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy, golden-brown, and toasted (check at 3 minutes as thin bread browns swiftly).
- 9
Mix the ground cinnamon and sugar (or powdered milk) in a shallow dish.
- 10
Remove the hot, crispy churros from the basket and immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- 11
Serve warm while the dulce de leche filling is molten and gooey!
Chef's Golden Secrets
- • Delicious filling variations: Swap dulce de leche for Nutella, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter with mashed banana, or guava paste!
- • Mind the timer: Because flattened bread is very thin, it crisps up in a flash. Don't walk away from the air fryer during the 4-minute bake!
