Can I bake this donut instead of frying it?
Yes, definitely! ^_^
Hello, may I pls ask the baking time and temperature?
You can bake the donuts at a 375F/177C preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until baked to your desired doneness. After shaping, the dough must rise first until it doubles in size.
tried this recipe, its so good..
After number 9, don’t we need to let it rise again the 2nd time?

hi! what cheese do u recommend to use?
When do you put the salt?
Apologies. Add it on step no 2.
What is the temperature of the milk to dissolve and activate the yeast?
Room temperature milk is okay since mainit yung environment natin. 🙂
What kind of powdered milk did u use or brand
Hi! Any kind of powdered milk will do.
Wow! Tried making this at home and yummy!
May i know what kind of cheese is best for this?
I just used a regular cheese.
Congratulations! We used regular ones too. Truthfully, you can make this with any cheese you like but it is best to try mild and non-tangy cheeses.
