- Knead the Dough: Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

- Temperature Control: Ensure your milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Dough Consistency: For a soft and fluffy texture, knead the dough just until it’s smooth without overworking it.
- Proper Frying: Use a thermometer to maintain a steady oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for even frying.
