Ingredients
  

  • 250 g all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 50 g sugar granulated
  • 7 g dry yeast active dry
  • 1 large egg
  • 120 ml milk warm
  • 60 g butter melted
  • 100 g jelly any flavor

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, melted butter, and egg into the yeast mixture. Stir until combined and knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1 cm thick.
  5. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter and place them in the Air Fryer basket. Preheat the Air Fryer to 180°C.
  6. Air fry the donuts for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Fill a piping bag with jelly and inject it into each donut.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Tip: Make sure to let the donuts cool slightly before filling them with jelly to prevent it from leaking out.
