Tips
For the perfect cinnamon doughnut, the dough should be kneaded for 8 minutes for a smooth and elastic texture. Also, allow the dough to rest either at room temperature or in the fridge overnight for flavor.
After cutting the dough into shapes, let it rest for 15 minutes to ensure a fluffy texture.
