Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface (don't punch it down) and cut it into 20 small pieces. Shape the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet to rise for another 45 minutes. Once the dough has risen slightly, place a few doughnut holes in the air fryer and cook at 375Ffor 6-8 minutes, or until they're golden brown on the outside.

If you like a thin coating of cinnamon sugar, roll the hot doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar immediately when they come out of the air fryer. If you like a thick coating of cinnamon sugar, roll the doughnut holes in melted butter before adding them to the cinnamon sugar.
