How do you roll out the dough to cut the donuts?
Hi Jill, you can roll the dough out until it is approximately a 1/2″ thick, and then cut the donuts using a donut cutter. If you don’t have a doughnut cutter, you can use a 3″ ring cutter with a 1″ ring cutter to portion the doughnuts. Hope it is helpful and enjoy your donuts.
