Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, and oil until a soft dough forms, then let rest covered for 30 minutes until doubled.
- 2
Combine brown sugar, crushed peanuts, cinnamon, and honey in a small bowl for the filling.
- 3
Divide dough into 8 portions, flatten each into a disc, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and pinch edges tightly to seal.
- 4
Preheat air fryer to 350°F and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
- 5
Place hotteok seam-side down in the basket, spray tops lightly, and air fry for 8–9 minutes per batch, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- 6
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Tip: Press the hotteok down gently with a spatula before air frying to flatten them slightly — this mimics the traditional street vendor technique and ensures even crisping.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 18 minutes vs ~29 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
