Ingredients
250g white bread flour
30g caster sugar
7g or sachet of dried yeast
Juliet’s awesome air-fried doughnuts!
60g unsalted butter, softened
1 medium egg
¼ tsp salt
Some low calorie or regular cooking spray (or melted butter if you prefer)
Method
1. In a stand mixer with dough hook attachment combine the flour, sugar, salt then add the dried yeast and whisk through to distribute.
2. Add the softened butter, egg, vanilla, and warm milk and with the mixer on a slow speed, bring the mix together, then once it’s combined into a shaggy dough, then allow mixer knead the dough on medium speed for about for 4-5 mins until it looks smooth and has formed a smooth and springy ball. (Add extra flour if it’s a bit sticky. You do want it to be a little sticky but come together well once kneaded.)
3. Alternatively if you do not have a stand mixer, do by hand in a large bowl, bring the ingredients together with your hand in a claw until it’s all shaggy then tip onto the surface and knead well for 10-15 minutes until you have a smooth and springy ball.
4. Leave the dough in a lightly buttered or oiled bowl covered with oiled cling or a damp tea towel in a warm place until almost doubled in size, (this can take between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on the type of yeast you use and the room temperature.
5. Meanwhile line a couple of baking trays with baking paper and lightly oil these and place to one side.
6. Tip out the dough and knead a little by hand to knock back and then use a little flour and roll the dough out to about 1.5cms thickness using a rolling pin and cut out your circles and then a smaller circle to give you the hole. You can re-roll these scraps and use them all up.
7. Place on the baking trays making sure to leave plenty of room in between each doughnut as they will puff up a bit when rising and also during the bake.
8. Cover the donuts loosely with lightly oiled cling film and leave for 30-40 mins until they have almost doubled in size, or you can put them in the fridge overnight to proof slowly, bring to room temp and allow to puff up and air fry them the next day.
9. When ready to cook, preheat your air fryer as per the instructions, I baked mine on a bake setting on 180c for 5 minutes, you might find the first couple you put in will give you an indication of how long you need to do them for.
