No worrying about the mess and bother of frying because these babies are AIR FRIED gluten free yeast donuts! And they're so soft and fluffy, you truly will never know they haven't been fried.
fillings, such as jelly or this American vanilla buttercream
toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped toasted salted peanuts, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or plain granulated sugar
extra melted butter (about 2-4 tbsp) for dipping donuts before rolling in toppings of choice
Instructions
Remove dough from refrigerator and knead on well floured surface until smooth. Roll dough out until it is about ½-inch thick. Cut dough with donut cutter dipped in flour or biscuit cutters. Place donuts on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm, draft-free area until about doubled in size.
When donuts are completely risen, preheat air fryer to 350° F and set it to 4 minutes. Carefully place donuts in air fryer, about 4 at a time (depending on the size of your air fryer), and fry for about 4 minutes (every air fryer is different, so you'll have to adjust this time to suit your own air fryer). Alternatively, preheat oven to 350° F. Bake donuts for 12-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove donuts from the air fryer and allow to cool enough to handle before dipping in glaze or melted butter and either filling or rolling in nuts, sprinkles, sugar, etc.
Donuts are best eaten fresh from the fryer or oven.
Notes
***DISCLAIMER: The reason I created my own flour blends is because I could not obtain the results I wanted with flour blends that were available in stores, online, or from other gluten free bloggers. My recipes have been developed to be used with my own bread flour blend that I created after painstakingly testing for, in some cases, YEARS to develop what I believe to be a superior gluten free bread like no other. If you do not use my gluten free bread flour blend for this recipe, I cannot speak for the results you will obtain. While store bought blends may give you a satisfactory result, they may NOT give you the results intended in my recipe.
