Zeppole
Pizza dough, fried and sprinkled with sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/2-1 ball Pizza dough, at room temperature (follow pkg directions) You only need half the dough unless making a big batch
- Vegetable or Canola Oil
- 1/2 cup Sugar, granulated
Instructions
- Divide the pizza dough in half. You probably won't need to use all of it unless you want a big batch.
- Let the pizza dough come to room temperature with a slight rise to it about 30 minutes. You can follow directions on the packaging if needed.
- Line a plate or platter with paper towels and put it by your stovetop.
- Place about a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Set it aside. You will use this to sprinkle over the fried dough.
- Add enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of a large frying pan.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into strips about an inch wide. Remember they will puff up. You can adjust your dough width to your liking after the first few are done. So if you want them thicker than cut the dough thicker.
- Fry the dough until nicely browned and puffed up the flip over to brown other side.
- Once dough is puffed and browned on both sides, remove from oil and place on paper towel lined plate.
- Sprinkle liberally with sugar. Continue to fry the dough and sprinkle with sugar as it comes out of the pan.
Notes
Store at room temperature, covered in plastic wrap, for up to 1 day.
Trader Joe's gluten-free pizza dough works well in this recipe. Just make sure to let it sit for an hour at room temperature.
