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.
