Instructions

Step 1
Combine the milk, 2 teaspoons sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit until foamy, generally around 5 minutes

Step 2
Whisk the egg, water and vanilla in a bowl. Combine the flour, remaining sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer using dough attachment. On low speed, slowly add yeast mixture, egg mixture and butter. Mix until the dough forms a ball, around 5-7 minutes. The dough will be a bit sticky. Place the dough in a large greased bowl tightly covered with plastic. Set aside in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, around 1- 2 hours

Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to around 1.3cm thick. Cut dough with a 7.6cm round cutter, then cut out the centers with a 2.5cm cutter. Line a baking sheet with parchment and cooking spray. Place donuts on the baking sheet and leave to rest for 1 hour

Step 4
Place the Cook && Crisp Basket in to the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker pot. Close the Air Crisp lid, preheat on AIR CRISP at 150°C for 5 minutes

Step 5
Place 4 donuts in the basket, careful to make sure the donuts don't touch. Close the Air Crip lid. Select AIR CRISP and select temperature to 150°C, then select time to 16 minutes. Press START/PAUSE to begin

Step 6
Check after 14 minutes, if they're looking golden in colour then remove. If not, continue for more 2 minutes. When cooking is complete, remove the donuts and repeat with remaining batch. Allow to cool a bit

Step 7
Mix the glaze ingredients together. Dip the tops of the donuts in glaze before serving. Add sprinkles if using
