The dough that I use to make donut is the same dough that I use to make siopao, pandepao and pandesal since I got my Cuisinart Breadmaker in 2012. I tried also using water and milk. Milk works better and it is softer. Long time ago, I only use Almond milk because my son was allergic to milk and milk products, soy, sesame, nuts and tree nuts except for Almond. He was finally passed the soy and milk allergy trials last year from his Allergist. I tried different milk for the dough and it works great. I converted my recipe to air fryer. This is a great recipe and everybody loves it. I also share this recipe in the air fryer group maybe 6 months ago.
