Donuts are one of our favourite desserts

—but making them at home can be
intense (hello, hot oil!). With your an air

make a healthier version. If you've ever
had ",-%#.(/%0%1.&2&*31.(14%&#%",(15&)%637
a baked doughnut, brace yourself.
These are SO much better. Instead of
tasting like a cake, shaped like a
doughnut, each of these tastes like
freshly fried classic glazed donuts thanks
to the dough still being a yeasted dough.
They are light and airy just without the
extra oil. Be sure to grease your air fryer
basket to help your dough not stick to
the basket!

Straight from the air fryer, they'll look a

little more like bagels, but everything
changes once you dip them in glaze and

DIRECTIONS
MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS

1 Grease a large bowl with cooking

spray. In a small, microwave-safe
bowl or glass measuring jug, add
milk. Microwave until lukewarm,
40 seconds. Add a teaspoon of
sugar and stir to dissolve, then
sprinkle over yeast and let sit until
frothy, about 8 minutes.

2 In a medium bowl, whisk together

Sour and salt. In a large bowl,
whisk together remaining sugar,
butter, egg, and vanilla. Pour in
yeast mixture, mix to combine, then
add in dry ingredients, stirring with
a wooden spoon until a shaggy
dough forms.

3 Transfer to a lightly Soured surface

and knead until elastic and only
slightly tacky, adding more Sour a
teaspoon at a time if needed, about
5 minutes. Form into a ball then
place dough in oiled bowl and
cover with a clean dish towel. Let
dough rise in a warm spot until
doubled in size, about 1 hour.

4 Line a large baking tray with

parchment paper and lightly grease
with cooking spray. Punch down
dough, then turn onto a lightly
Soured work surface and roll out
into a 1.5cm thick rectangle.

5 Using a doughnut cutter or 7.5cm

and 2.5cm biscuit cutters, punch
out your doughnuts. Knead any
scraps together and punch out
more doughnuts or holes. Place
doughnuts and holes onto baking
trays, cover with dish towel, and let
rise again, 40 minutes to 1 hour
more.

6 Grease basket of air fryer with

cooking spray and add 2 doughnuts
and 2 doughnut holes at a time,
making sure doughnuts don’t
touch. Cook at 190°C for 6 minutes,
until deeply golden. Place on
cooling rack and repeat with
remaining dough.

7 Dip doughnuts in glaze (see

below) or follow instructions for
cinnamon sugar. Return to cooling
rack and let set for 5 minutes
before serving.

MAKE THE VANILLA GLAZE:

1 In a medium bowl whisk together

icing sugar, milk, and vanilla until
smooth.

MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:

1 In a medium bowl whisk together

icing sugar, cocoa powder, and
milk.

MAKE THE CINNAMON SUGAR

1 In a large shallow bowl, whisk

together cinnamon and
sugar. Brush doughnuts with
melted butter and toss in cinnamon
sugar.
