Air Fryer Donuts

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, powdered sugar, and salt.

Add the milk and egg to the bowl. Set aside about 3 tablespoons of the melted butter and pour the rest into the bowl.

Knead with the spiral dough hooks of your electric mixer or your hands until you have a soft and slightly sticky dough, about 5 minutes.

Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place without draft for about an hour. You can also transfer the dough to a bread maker or multicooker and set the bread rise mode for 30-40 minutes.

Roll out the dough to 1 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut circles from the dough and a 1-inch round cutter to make holes in the center. Cover the donuts with a dishtowel or plastic wrap and leave the dough to rise for another 20-30 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray or brush some oil on the air fryer basket and place 2-3 donuts in it, depending on their size and the size of the air fryer.

Air fry the donuts at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-6 minutes. Then flip the donuts over and air fry for another 4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Air fry the rest of the dough if applicable. The exact cooking time can vary.

Brush each donut with some of the melted butter you set aside earlier (you may need to melt it again) and sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
