Air Fryer Donuts

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons active yeast
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

• 1 Gently warm the milk and water; ensure it's not too hot to avoid killing the
  yeast.
• 2 Whisk in the granulated sugar until dissolved.
• 3 Add the active yeast to the mixture, stirring until it's fully dissolved. Allow
  it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy and activated.
• 4 Place the flour in a stand mixer or a bowl.
• 5 Add the oil to the yeast mixture.
• 6 Gradually add the yeast mixture to the flour. Mix on low speed for 3-4 minutes
  using a stand mixer, or knead by hand for about 6 minutes until the dough comes
  together.
• 7 If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the right
  consistency is achieved. If it's too dry, no additional moisture is needed.
• 8 Place the dough in a clean, covered bowl. Allow it to rise for one hour.
• 9 Once the dough has risen, use a cup or a cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes.
  Create a hole in the center using your finger or a tool.
• 10 Place the cut-out donuts on a tray.
• 11 Cover the tray with a towel and let the donuts rise for an additional 30
  minutes.
• 12 Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C).
• 13 Place the donuts in the air fryer in a single layer, making sure they do not
  touch each other. Cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure
  even cooking. Avoid overfilling the air fryer.
• 14 Once the donuts are cooked and have a lovely golden color, remove them from the
  air fryer and let them cool slightly.
• 15 Add your chosen glaze or icing to the cooled donuts.
