Air fry them until crispy and light brown. flip them in between half of the time.
In a plate combine sugar and cinnamon, roll them straight away.
What variety of apples should I use?
We have used Gala apples, which are all-purpose apples. But if you can get hold of other varieties such as cooking apples, which are great for cooking, baking or frying. Other than that Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and Braeburn are a good choice too.
Can I use the Pancake mix for a shortcut?
These air fried apple ring fritters are so easy and quick to make, but if you want to speed up the process you can use a store-bought pancake mix, which only requires milk or water to make the perfect batter.
I don’t have self-raising flour, what should I use instead?
Self-raising flour is prepared of all-purpose or plain flour (maida), baking powder and salt. You can easily make this blend at home too.
Take 1 cup plain flour, 1 1/2 tsp (one and a half tsp) baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt, combine well and use it for this recipe.
What is the purpose of using sparkling water? Can I omit totally?
The sparkling water makes the batter so fluffy, light and crisp. You can use normal water or any other milk, but won’t achieve the same results.
How to make Cinnamon Sugar?
Cinnamon sugar is combines of granulated sugar and fine cinnamon powder which can be easily made at home.
Take 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and add 1 tsp cinnamon powder. Mix well and store it in an airtight container.
You can sprinkle this cinnamon sugar on top of 3 Ingredient Vegan Oatmeal Waffles
Can I use icing sugar to sprinkle the doughnuts?
Absolutely yes!
How to serve air-fried apple ring doughnuts?
These are best to serve as soon as ready, if left for too long they turn soft and soggy. Apple ring doughnuts are so good on their own but can be served with hot beverages or with milkshakes to kids.
Can I reheat leftover Apple Ring Doughnuts?
Well, if there are any leftovers, as I promise you won’t have any leftovers, but if there are one or the other reason than the answer is yes. Just preheat the air fryer for a couple of minutes then cook for 2 minutes.
Be careful, the cinnamon sugar on top of the doughnut will melt and can burn your fingers or mouth if eaten straight away ..

Are you ready to try out this flavoursome Do Pyaza Mushroom Focaccia? This magically chewy, crunchy and soft Italian bread is topped with Indian Do Pyaza Mushroom stir fry and, to your surprise, it is not baked in the oven but made on the stovetop, in an iron frying pan.
You can serve this OH-SO-DELICIOUS vegan focaccia bread at any get-together as a main, side or starter and this also makes a great meat-free alternative.
Focaccia Bread
This style of bread may be born in Italy, but it receives so much love all over the world. Focaccia bread is a staple in Italy with the most common flavours being rosemary or Caprese (topped with tomato, basil and mozzarella). I have many fond memories of eating focaccia for breakfast when in Italy!
At home every now and then, we can’t resist baking focaccia, whether it’s traditional Rosemary and Sundried Tomato , Sun-dried tomato, Olive, Rosemary and Thyme or unusual flavoured Red Grape and Rosemary.
What is Do Pyaza/Piaza
In the Hindi language ‘Do’ translates ‘Two’ and ‘Pyaza’ means ‘Onion’. So basically in the cooking term when you add double the amount or a large number of onions, the dish is called Do Pyaza. In the recipe, onion can be added at different stages or all added the same time.
Do Pyaza/Piaza Mushroom Focaccia
This fusion bread recipe is a marriage of two cultures, Indian and Italian, both are known for their love of food and it makes an excellent dish.
Do Pyaza Mushroom Focaccia is made from scratch and it has the freshest of flavours that lingers on. How you could resist a bite of this rich and indulgent bread which is amazing all around. The flavours from earthy mushrooms, sweetness from double the amount red onion and a liberal dash of fruity olive oil and some kick from dried red chillies take this focaccia to the next level.
It is a super simple and straight forward recipe, just requires a little patience!
We made our focaccia using the stove-top method which seemed daunting at first but we were rest assured that with the quality of the cast iron cookware, there was no risk of burning.
Love mushroom or looking for a idea to finish of half a punnet of mushrooms, this Soy and Garlic Mushrooms is so easy to whip up.
Ingredients
- Strong white bread flour or all-purpose flour (maida) – Strong white bread flour is high in gluten and gives baked dish light and fluffy texture. It is available in most of the supermarket in the baking aisle.
- Active Dry yeast – Mostly available in 7g sachets.
- Sugar – Granulated sugar works fine.
- Olive Oil – Good quality olive oil brings out really good fruity flavours.
- salt – Sea salt works so well.
- Mushroom – Fresh mushrooms such as white, chestnut, portabello, cremini, oyster or mix.
- Onion – Red works best but any would do.
- Dry red chillies – Whole dry red chillies but if you don’t have use dry red chilli flakes.
- Freshly chopped coriander – Adds so much freshness and colour to the entire dish.
I don’t have strong white bread flour?
If strong white bread is not available in your part of the world, the best substitute for bread flour is the same amount of all-purpose flour or plain flour. In India aka Maida.
Can I use fast-action dried yeast?
Absolutely yes. This yeast is simply added straight to the flour and don’t need to prove it in the lukewarm water. 7g of fast-action dried yeast is equivalent to 7g of ordinary dried yeast or 15g of fresh yeast (In the UK you can obtain fresh yeast from any supermarket bakery, usually free of charge)
Can I use wholewheat flour to make focaccia?
Yes, you can. If you are thinking by using wholewheat for this focaccia, it will be totally healthy or guilt-free, you’re wrong. Even, wholewheat flour is a carb. However, Wholewheat flour is surely healthier than plain flour as it contains more fibre than white flour.
By all means, you can use whole wheat flour, but you may not achieve the great results. The focaccia may not be as fluffy, light, pillowy and airy in texture.
Can I make Focaccia dough ahead of time rather than on the same day I want to bake?
The wonderful thing about the focaccia bread dough that you can make it ahead of time by keeping the dough in the refrigerator, covered with clingfilm for a couple of days. When decide to make, bring it out from the fridge, allow to come to room temperature before shaping allowing to rise for the second time.
How to serve Foccacia Bread?
Besides just enjoying it warm from the oven, focaccia bread can be enjoyed many ways.
It’s perfect as it is with hot beverages such as tea or coffee or even with a cold milkshake.
Serve this bread as a starter with an antipasti platter and cold drinks.
It’s perfect for sandwiches, as the texture is so pillowy.
On a cold and frosty day serve it with a hearty and delicious bowl of soup as a lunch or light supper.
Or if any leftovers, make Focaccia Pizza!!!
Tips and Tricks to achieve best Focaccia Bread?
Use appropriate flour to gain soft, pillowy yet chewy focaccia. > Make sure your yeast is not out of date or stale. > To prove the yeast always use lukewarm water, if it doesn’t rise in less than 5-7 minutes discard the whole thing and make it again. > Use good quality olive oil and don’t hold back when using it. Focaccia loves olive oil.
Now that frosty and bitterly cold weather upon us, why don’t you treat your family to a Do Pyaza Mushroom Focaccia bread this week. It is fun to make, easy and delicious!!
