Air Fryer Donuts Recipes

Contrary to popular belief, it is quite possible to cook air fryer donuts without bathing them in oil. With an oil-free fryer, make this recipe for sweet cinnamon donuts.

The oil-free fryer has undoubtedly helped revolutionize the cooking of donuts. Donut shops give us two things we all need in life: appetizing snacks and convenience. But if you have an air fryer, you can save yourself time and money by making delicious donuts at home. Those fluffy threads of leavened and fried dough, covered with a sugar glaze, that with every bite you poke, you think you find yourself in heaven.

I think there will be few people in the world who do not like this sweet. And I also believe that the recipe for "our well-known commercial donuts", you know which I mean, will be one of the most sought-after recipes in the blogger scene.

Who else, who has done the least with the donuts, and there are those who have lost their grip looking for the ideal recipe, do not think that I am the only one. You will start by preparing your air fryer donut recipes. 

The ingredients of Air Fryer Donuts Recipes

• 500 grams of flour of force
• 75 grams of sugar
• 50 grams of butter
• 100 ml of water
• 150 ml milk
• 25 grams of fresh yeast or baker's yeast
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• a pinch of salt

Preparation of Air Fryer Donuts Recipes

1.-The first step will be to dissolve the baker's yeast in the water and milk. We simply pour it into a glass and turn with the milk and water until it is completely dissolved.

2.- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt.

3.- Incorporate the milk together with the butter at room temperature, the vanilla essence and the egg.

4.- Now is the time to knead. I have used a kitchen robot because I have it but if it does not have it you will have to do it by hand.

There should be an elastic mass that does not stick. If it continues to stick, you will need a little more flour. It will take about 10 minutes. Be patient, it takes time to get smooth and soft, little by little.

5.- We form a ball with the dough and put it in a bowl with a drop of olive oil so that it does not stick. We cover it with plastic wrap and put in a warm place in the house until it doubles or triples the volume.

6.- After that time we remove the dough and knead it again. We put a drop of flour on the table, knead.

7.- With the help of a roller we stretch and leave it 1 cm thick or so. Don't worry it gets back on.

8.- With the help of a plating ring we make the donuts.

9.- We will make the donut hole with the neck of a bottle. I have used the typical 500 ml water.

10.- We place them on top of vegetable paper so that they double their volume again. It will take another two hours. Put a clean cloth on top and let them rest.

11.- As you can see they have doubled their volume. We prepare a plate with absorbent paper, plenty of sunflower oil and that's it. There are people who bake them and put beaten egg on top but I have to say that these are no longer the classic donuts.

12.- The temperature of the oil is important, do not put it on high heat, always pulling low since they brown very quickly. Cut the baking paper and fry it. This trick is good because this way we do not manipulate the donuts and we do not make everything that has been fermented go down.

13.- We pass to a kitchen paper and let it cool down.

14.- To make the donut glaze, put the glass sugar with a few drops of water, little by little we add drops of water until obtaining a thick mixture, which can be handled with a brush. Brush our donuts with glaze and that's it. Spectacular.
