Instructions
- Whisk the milk and yeast together in a small bowl. Add 1 tsp of the flour and 1 tsp of the sugar. Whisk until combined. Let sit for 10-15 minutes until surface bubbles.
- Place the remaining flour, remaining sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix with a hand or stand mixer.
- Add egg while mixing. Next, add melted butter and yeast mixture. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic.
- With very lightly floured hands, scrape the dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and set aside to rest for 1–1½ hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Line with baking paper the air fryer tray and an extra tray if needed.
- Generously flour a work surface and gently tip the dough out onto it. Using a floured rolling pin, gently roll the dough out to a 1 cm (½ inch) thickness. Using a floured 8 cm (3¼ inch) round cookie cutter, cut out 10 rounds from the dough, making sure you cut them as close together as possible. Use a floured 3 cm (1¼ inch) round cookie cutter to cut out holes from the center of each larger circle. Carefully transfer the donuts and their holes to the prepared trays, spreading them out in a single layer. Cover with kitchen towels then allow to rest for 40 minutes at room temperature, or until the donuts have doubled in size.
- Preheat air fryer to 180C. Set the time to 12 minutes.
- Add the tray in the air fryer and turn the donuts on the other side halfway through cooking time.
- Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool for 3 minutes.
- Combine cinnamon-sugar ingredients in a deep bowl.
- Brush the donuts with melted butter and toss in the bowl of cinnamon-sugar.
