Directions

1. Combine the yeast, milk, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. 
2. Whisk in the eggs, salt, and vanilla. 
3. Add in about 2 cups of the flour with a whisk.
4. Cut the butter into pieces and add a piece at a time to the dough, mixing using a dough hook and thoroughly between additions. 
5. Gradually add the rest of the flour; you may need less than the four cups. Mix until the dough is combined and is shiny and soft. 
6. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again if necessary. Continue to knead with the dough hook attachment until the dough is smooth and soft. Add more flour if it is too sticky. 
7. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size, then roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface.
8. Lightly flour a large surface. Roll out the dough to a 3/4-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of the dough. Twist the cutter as you cut to release the round. You can re-roll scraps one more time. Too many re-rolls will result in tough dough. 
9. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a clean towel. Let rise for another 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size. Make sure to leave space between each round to allow for rising and expansion. 
10. Grease the basket of your air fryer generously with canola oil. Add 3 to 5 rounds of dough to the basket depending on the size of your rounds and the size of your air fryer. Brush the top of each doughnut with canola oil as well. 
11. Fry at 350 F for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. 
12. Set the completed doughnuts aside and fry the remaining dough. 
13. Pulse the strawberry jam in a food processor to make it easier to pipe.
14. Add a 1/4-inch round tip to your piping bag. Fill the bag with the strawberry jam. Insert the tip of the piping bag into the top of the doughnut. Gently push down until about half way through the doughnut. Squeeze and fill until the jam just pokes out of the top. 
15. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately!
