# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-raising flour
02 -
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweetened Greek yogurt
→ Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
03 -
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 -
Melted butter, as needed for coating
→ Optional Toppings
06 -
Melted chocolate for drizzling
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir until a soft dough is formed. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead gently by hand until the dough is smooth, with no dry patches visible. If dough feels sticky, lightly oil your hands for easier handling.
02 -
Divide dough evenly into two. Roll each portion into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter. Cut each log into small pieces weighing about 1/3–1/2 ounce (8–12 grams) each. Gently roll each piece between your palms to create smooth, round balls.
03 -
Set air fryer to 356°F (180°C) and preheat for 5 minutes. Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
04 -
Toss shaped dough balls in melted butter for a thin coating. Arrange them in the prepared air fryer basket with space between each to allow for expansion. Air fry for approximately 5 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Note that browning may be uneven due to air fryer circulation.
05 -
While still warm, brush donut bites once more with melted butter. Immediately roll each in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon so the coating adheres.
06 -
If desired, let the donut bites cool slightly before drizzling with melted chocolate for added flavor. Serve promptly for best texture.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure the donut bites are coated in cinnamon sugar while warm for maximum adhesion and flavor.
