Banana Crunch Muffins - Cuisinart TOA-65 Instruction And Recipe Booklet

Nonstick cooking spray
Melted butter for finishing (approximately 2 tablespoons)
Cinnamon sugar for finishing (if preparing at home, combine ¼
cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon)
1 . In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in the warm milk .
Let stand 5 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is foamy .
2 . Put ¾ cup of the flour, the remaining sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into
a large mixing bowl . Whisk to combine . Once yeast has proofed, add it to the
flour/sugar . Using a wooden spoon, stir to combine .
3 . Whisk the egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract together and then slowly mix
into the flour mixture . Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and trans-
fer dough to the surface, dusting dough lightly with flour . Using your hands
to knead, add additional flour as necessary, 1 teaspoon at a time, to keep
dough from sticking to your hands . Add the butter, 1 piece at a time, until
all pieces have been mixed into the dough . Again, continue adding flour, 1
teaspoon at a time, to keep dough from sticking to your hands . The dough
should be tender and smooth, and when pulled should not break apart .
4 . Form dough into a ball and put in a clean mixing bowl, cover with plastic
wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour . After 1 hour, gently turn dough over and
press dough down (do not punch) . Cover and allow to rest for another hour .
5 . Place the AirFryer Basket into the Baking/Drip Pan . Lightly coat with nonstick
cooking spray . On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 16 pieces .
Working with one piece at a time (keeping the others covered loosely with
plastic wrap), form into a small ball and roll between hands to ensure that
it is smooth . Once rolled, cover loosely with plastic wrap . Repeat with the
remaining pieces of dough .
6 . Once 8 doughnuts have been formed, transfer them to the AirFryer Basket
and put into the oven in rack Position 2 . Select AirFry with the temperature
set to 350°F for 5 minutes, until doughnuts just get a bit of color at the
edges . Repeat with remaining doughnuts .
7 . While doughnuts are baking, melt additional butter in a small saucepan set
over low heat . Put cinnamon sugar in a shallow bowl . Reserve .
8 . Remove doughnuts from oven and immediately brush with butter on all sides
and then gently toss in cinnamon sugar . Serve immediately .
