Pro Tips
#1
Ensure the milk is only lukewarm to avoid killing the yeast.
#2
Add extra flour one teaspoon at a time if the dough is too tacky while kneading.
#3
Letting the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot is essential for light, airy donuts.
#4
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
#5
Let the donuts rest for 5 minutes after glazing to allow the coating to set.
