Carnival Pizzas

Author: foodyschmoody

Ingredients

  • 1-2 bags pizza dough
  • drizzle olive oil
  • 10-12 inch skillet with 1 inch vegetable oil
  • marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce
  • grated Parmesan cheese
  • flour

Instructions

  • Place the dough in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil rubbed over the dough. Cover in plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until it rises to about double the size.
  • Punch the dough down and using a lightly floured surface cut the one pound dough balls into four equal pieces approximately four ounces each. Make them a round ball.
  • Lay these on a sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise a second time for about an hour until they are about 3 ½ inches in diameter. Our net for 2 balls of dough was 9 pizzas.
  • When the dough has risen again, lightly flour a clean surface and roll or push the dough down with your fingers into circles or rectangles and keep covered with the clean towel.
  • Make sure you have your marinara sauce made (or you could use spaghetti sauce as well)
  • Once the sauce and dough are ready, heat the oil in your skillet over medium high heat to 350°.
  • Place the dough in the hot oil and press down lightly with a pair of tongs. Cook for a minute or so until golden brown and flip over and do the same for the other side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Do this in batches keeping the already fried dough warm under a heat lamp or in a very low oven.
  • Assemble each pizza with sauce and grated Parmesan cheese for one variety.
  • For the second variety, make up some cinnamon and white sugar mixture to sprinkle on the top.
