Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw the bread dough and divide it into 6 pieces.
- Lightly flour a cutting board.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece into a circle or oval, being careful not to over-roll.
- Stretch the dough with your hands to make larger circles.
- Let the dough rise for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat about an inch of cooking oil in an electric frypan to 400°F.
- Cook 2 to 3 pieces of dough at a time until golden brown on both sides, turning only once.
- Drain the fried dough on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the dough is fully thawed but still cool before rolling to prevent it from sticking. If you don't have powdered sugar, granulated sugar can be used as a substitute. For a twist, try adding a dash of vanilla extract to the dough before frying. You can also use various spices like nutmeg for a different flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fried dough warm, dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. They pair beautifully with Warm Fruit or can be enjoyed with a side of syrup for dipping. For a delightful breakfast, consider serving them alongside Grandma'S Breakfast Fruit for a sweet start to your day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fried dough in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the dough soggy.
