AIR GLAZED

Activate the Yeast 

•  In a large bowl or mixing pan, combine the warm milk, active yeast, and sugar. 
•  Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy. 

Make the Dough 

•  Add the eggs, melted butter, and flour to the yeast mixture. 
•  Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface. 

Knead 

•  Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. (You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook.) 

First Rise 

•  Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. 
  

Shape the Doughnuts 

•  Punch down the dough and roll it out to about ½ inch thickness. 
•  Use a doughnut cutter (or two round cutters) to cut out 12 doughnuts. 
•  Let the cut dough rest for 5–10 minutes while pre-heating the air fryer. 

Air Fry 

•  Preheat your Ninja Air Fryer Pro to 160°C. 
•  Lightly brush or spray the doughnuts with oil (optional for browning). 
•  Air fry in batches for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Make the Chocolate Glaze 

•  In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate  
  
•  Stir until smooth and glossy. 

Glaze & Decorate 

•  Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the melted chocolate, then top with sprinkles. 
•  Let the glaze set for a few minutes. 

Serve & Enjoy 

•  Best served slightly warm or at room temperature with coffee or milk.
