Air Fryer Fried Chicken – Delish. Got An Air Fryer For Christmas? That taste just like they came from a donut shop. You don’t need super sharp culinary skills to make perfect yeast donuts at home—anyone can do it! What you do need is plenty of time, making them the perfect weekend baking project.
The very first step in creating donuts is blooming your yeast: dissolve sugar into lukewarm water, then stir in the yeast. In about 5 minutes, it’ll have turned into a foamy, bubbling layer on top of the water. This is how you know your yeast is alive and that your dough will rise! Stir in with your other ingredients, mix, and then knead until dough feels smooth and elastic. To test if your dough is ready, lightly press your thumb into the dough. Donut dough needs to rise twice: first, the dough itself, then the punched out donuts.
