air fried donuts

air fried donuts by Riley Jury

My class (nikau) has been trying to find ways to do inquiry. in our bubbles. So our teacher, Mr. P has
given us(nikau class) some task’s. These are; Cooking, Science, Coding and Gardening.  I chose cooking
because I felt like donuts.

Here are the  Ingredients ;

Cooking spray

1/2 c. milk

1/4 c. plus 1 tsp. granulated sugar, divided

1 (0.25-oz.) packet or 2 1/4 tsp. active-dry yeast

2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

4 tbsp. melted butter

1 large egg

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

First we greased a large bowl with coconut oil. Then we used a small microwave safe bowl to heat up the
milk. Then we added a teaspoon of sugar to the milk and stirred. Then we sprinkled some yeast into the
milk and  waited for it to rise.  While we were waiting for it to rise, we put salt and flour into a medium
sized bowl and whisked it together.  Then we used the greased large bowl (greased with coconut oil) and
put the sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla.  Now the yeast had risen, we (my mum and I) had to tip the yeast
into the large bowl with the sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla. Then we put flour and salt into the large bowl.
And then we mixed it. Then we put flour on a board then we put the dough on the board then kneaded the
dough till it was elastic. Then we formed it into a ball and put it in an oiled bowl. Then we covered it with a
tea towel and put it in a warm area. And leave it for an hour. In that time it should have doubled in size.
Then we put the dough on the board and punched it down. Then we put the dough and board in a corner
and sprinkle flour on the table then we made the dough into a big slab and used hockey cutters to make
them fun shapes. Then we put them into an air fryer. We only could do three or five at a time. But they
only took 3 minutes to cock. When they are all cooked it's nice to bump them in malted coconut oil and
dip them in cinnamon sugar. This is a long but easy way to make donuts. But they tasted amazing.
We found that without cinnamon sugar it tastes like sweet fry bread. Have you ever made donuts using a
air fryer?
