Air Fryer Doughnuts From Scratch
Description
This recipe creates doughnuts by rolling out bread maker doughnut dough and cutting it into doughnut shapes and holes using biscuit cutters. The doughnuts and holes are cooked in the air fryer at 180°C (360°F) for eight minutes, with a spray of extra virgin olive oil applied halfway through cooking to encourage an appealing golden color. After cooling slightly, a glaze made from icing sugar, milk, and vanilla essence is applied, with optional coloring and sprinkles added for decoration. The air-frying method offers a less greasy alternative to deep-frying while still producing tender, fluffy doughnuts with a crisp exterior.
The batch outlined here yields about seven doughnuts, though eight can be made by adjusting the dough ball size before rolling. The doughnuts pair well with sweet glazes and decorations, making them suitable for breakfast or dessert treats.
