Description - Step 1

Making the Doughnut Dough

Start by combining the flour, milk powder, and other necessary dry ingredients (like sugar, salt, and yeast—though not explicitly listed) in a bowl. Pour in the liquid (likely warm milk) and knead everything until you form a smooth, soft dough. Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours and rise beautifully. Once risen, gently punch the dough down. Shape it into equal portions and roll them into smooth, round balls. Place the shaped dough balls on parchment paper and let them puff up again.
