Make Perfect Air Fryer Doughnuts at Home
Air Fryer Doughnuts are the easiest way to enjoy a classic treat without the oily mess. With the help of your favorite Bucket of Bread baking kit, you can whip up soft, golden doughnuts in your own kitchen—no deep fryer required. Whether you’re craving a weekend indulgence or looking for a fun family baking activity, this simple method delivers fresh, homemade results every time.
Skip the splatter, ditch the extra cleanup, and enjoy a more convenient way to make doughnuts that taste just as good as the traditional kind—maybe even better.
Why Air Fryer Doughnuts Just Make Sense
Fried doughnuts are delicious, but they also come with downsides—grease, cleanup, and lingering smells. Enter the air fryer, your countertop hero. It circulates hot air around the dough to create that perfect golden crust while keeping the inside soft and pillowy. You get the same satisfying texture and taste, but with much less fuss.
Plus, air frying cuts out the need for excess oil. That means fewer calories and fewer dishes—without compromising on flavor.
Better Dough, Less Guesswork
Thanks to Bucket of Bread baking kits, making doughnuts is easier than ever. Each kit comes with a pre-measured flour mix and yeast packet, so you can skip the complicated prep work. Just add a few everyday ingredients from your fridge and pantry, and you’re on your way.
We used the Traditional White mix in this version, but the Hearty Wheat or Seven Grains varieties would work beautifully too—each bringing a different flavor profile to the doughnuts.
Top Them Your Way
This recipe includes a rich vanilla glaze that complements the warm, fluffy doughnuts perfectly. Want something different? Brush them with butter and toss in cinnamon sugar for an old-fashioned twist. Either way, you’ll end up with a batch of irresistible air fryer doughnuts that look and taste like they came from a bakery.
