Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts

Ingredients

• 300 g wheat flour
• 2 tsp dry yeast
• 1¼ dl milk, warm
• 40 g white sugar
• 1 egg
• 40 g butter, softened
• ½ tsp salt
• 60 g butter, melted, for brushing
• 100 g white sugar, for coating
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon, for coating

Method

1. 1.

   Activate the yeast — Warm the milk and stir in the dry yeast with a pinch of the sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. 2.

   Knead and rise the dough — In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and softened butter, then knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.

3. 3.

   Cut out the doughnuts — Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll to 1.5 cm thickness. Cut into rounds and cut a small hole in the center of each to form rings. Let rest for 15 minutes.

4. 4.

   Air fry the doughnuts — Arrange the doughnuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Air fry at 180°C for 5-6 minutes, until puffed and golden.

5. 5.

   Coat in cinnamon sugar — While still warm, brush each doughnut with melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Serve warm.
