Cinnamon doughnuts

Step 1

Heat the milk, sugar and butter in a saucepan until the butter melts. Cool to room temperate, then whisk in the egg and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer) combine the flour and yeast. Add the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon (or mix with a dough hook), until the dough forms a ball. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 mins.

Step 3

Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl covered with a damp tea towel. Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Divide dough into 12 even pieces; about 60g each. On a floured surface, roll each into a tight ball. Press your thumb through the center to make a hole. Repeat to use all the dough.

Step 5

Transfer doughnuts to oiled baking sheets, leaving space for the doughnuts to rise. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in size; about 45 minutes.

Step 6

Arrange half the doughnuts on the air-fryer tray and spray with oil. Slide into the middle shelf of the Crisp 'N Bake Toaster Oven. Air-fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden on top. Flip the doughnuts and cook a further 3-4 minutes, until evenly browned.

Step 7

Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Carefully remove the hot doughnuts from the oven using tongs. Brush each with milk and roll in cinnamon sugar to coat. Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Enjoy!
