Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
- 3¼ cups bread flour
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp pink food coloring
- 1 Tbsp water
- rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine the warm milk with the yeast in a large bowl and keep it covert for around 10 minutes until the yeast is bubbly.
- Then add the melted butter, sugar, beaten egg, vanilla and mix it well together.
- Take ¼ of the bread flour and slowly sieve the flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, mix to combine until you have a soft sticky dough. If you are using a food mixer with a dough hook, follow the same instructions, however, turn on the machine at a slow speed to combine the ingredients.
- Tip onto a floured work surface and knead, covering your hands in flour to stop the dough from sticking. Knead until soft and stretchy – approximately 8 minutes. If you are using a food mixer with a dough hook, this can do the job for you. Knead the dough for 5 minutes on medium speed.
- Place the dough in a clean greased bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rise for an hour to 2 hours, depending on how warm an environment is.
- Once the dough is doubled in size, roll it out to 1-inch thick and cut out circles using a 4 inch round cookie cutter. Place the circles on a greased sheet tray and then cut a 1-inch circle out of the center of each donut. Or use a donut cutter.
- Cover the tray loosely with plastic wrap or a tower and set aside for another 45 minutes, allowing the dough to rise again.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350F / 180C for a few minute, the spray the Air Fryer basket with oil spray, slowly transfer 3- 4 donuts in the to air fryer basket. Spray donuts with oil spray and cook at 350F until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. Repeat with remaining donuts and holes.
- While the donuts are in the Air Fryer whisk together the powdered sugar, jam, and water until you have an icing of thick dropping consistency.
- Dip the top of each donut into the icing mix then place it back on the cooling rack and sprinkle with the rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy while nice and warm!
