Mini Doughnuts

Servings: 14 mini doughnuts

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 125ml (½ cup) milk
  • 30g (2 tbsp) butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g (1⅔ cups) flour (see note 2)
  • 7g (2½ tsp) dried yeast (see note 1)
  • 30g (⅛ cup) sugar
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil

Coating:

  • 30g (2 tbsp) butter (melted)
  • sugar

Instructions

  • Add the milk, butter, and vanilla to your bread machine pan.
  • Follow this with the flour, yeast, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  • Set your bread machine to the dough setting.
  • When the dough is ready, remove it from the pan and place it on a floured surface. If it’s a little sticky, add more flour and knead it in. The dough should be pliable and easy to handle.
  • Divide the dough into 14 equal pieces (see note 3).
  • Pull the edges of each piece into the middle and pinch together. Then roll into a ball.
  • Brush each ball with vegetable oil and place them — spaced apart — into an air fryer that has been preheated for a minute or two at 200°C (400°F).
  • Cook for 2–4 minutes, just until the tops are golden brown. They cook quickly, so keep an eye on them.
  • Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Coat with melted butter and dip into sugar, making sure they’re well coated. Best eaten warm. If not eating immediately, cover or freeze. Enjoy!

Notes

I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. While I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not tested this recipe with imperial measurements.
  1. In Sweden, we have something called dried yeast. It is used both in warm liquid to proof and also added directly to flour. I am aware that the US has two options for dried yeast, and I believe instant yeast is the most similar for the purpose of making this particular bread.
  2. You can use all-purpose (plain) or bread flour — just use the same amount.
  3. You can make them as small or as large as you like, but the cooking times may need to be adjusted.
