Tips for making Sourdough Blueberry Donut Twists:
Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps with proper mixing and texture of the dough.
Use Homemade Self-Rising Flour: Create your own self-rising flour mixture by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This homemade mixture ensures your donut holes rise properly and have the perfect texture.
Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds moisture and richness to the dough while providing a slight tangy flavor. It also helps activate the leavening agents in the self-rising flour mixture. DO NOT use whole milk yogurt or any other alternatives for the measurements in this recipe.
Utilize Sourdough Discard: Incorporate sourdough discard into the dough for added flavor complexity. The sourdough discard also contributes to the dough's rise and texture.
Adjust Dough Consistency: Depending on the hydration level of your sourdough discard and Greek yogurt, you may need to adjust the amount of flour or liquid to achieve the right dough consistency. Aim for a soft and slightly sticky dough that holds its shape.
Air Fryer Preparation: Preheat your air fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
Air Fry in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook the donut holes in batches to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown exterior.
Monitor Cooking Time: Air fryer cooking times may vary depending on the model and size of the donut holes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.
Serve Fresh: Enjoy your sourdough blueberry donut twists warm and fresh from the air fryer for the best flavor and texture.
Store Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the air fryer before serving to restore their crispiness.
