Looks like a great idea slash recipe. My mom would make bread and pizza dough, also poppy seed bread from dough.
You can make doughnuts with Pillsbury biscuit dough. Take a frying pan with vegetable oil, heat that up. Then make a hole in the middle of a round biscuit dough, if you don't it won't be done in the center. Get a brown paper lunch bag ready. As the doughnuts come out of the pan and are still wet with grease put them in the brown bag with regular granulated sugar and shake it up. Let it cool on a plate. Sugared doughnuts. I guess you could use dough from scratch but I never have. They are good warm but not as tastey cold.
