TOUTONS (NEWFOUNDLAND RECIPE FOR FRIED DOUGH)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (this is to keep your toutons warm while you are preparing your batches and is optional).
• Roll dough into balls, about 1.5 ounces each.
• Flatten each ball into a disc, about 1/2-inch thick and about 3-inches or so in diameter.
• Place dough balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover loosely with a clean tea towel and let rise for 5 to 10 minutes (the toutons will further puff up as they cook).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a cast-iron skillet (I use a 12-inch skillet) over low heat.Note: It's best to cook the toutons in batches, with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of canola oil per batch.
• Add toutons to the skillet (I cook 4 at a time). Cook toutons for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until they're golden brown on the outside and cooked through.Note: Watch carefully because toutons can burn quickly.
• Place cooked toutons onto a baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep warm while you are preparing remaining toutons. Add more butter and oil, when necessary, in order to cook remaining toutons.
• Serve toutons with a dab of butter, molasses, jam or any of the other optional serving suggestions (if desired). Enjoy!

• Lastly, if you start a grease fire - remember that oil and water don't mix. Cover the fire with a large lid or cookie sheet. Baking soda can also put out a grease fire.
• My aunt would eat this recipe with Pinto Beans and slather the bread in butter. I like it with smashed salted avocados and eggs. It is amazing! Happy Eating! Beckie

FRIED BREAD DOUGH (OR PIZZA DOUGH)

Steps:

• Cut off a piece of dough, and roll it out on a well floured surface. I usually make them about the size of the frying pan I'm using.
• Heat some olive oil in a frying pan, over medium high heat (it doesn't need to be non-stick.) Make sure the pan is very hot, then place the dough in the pan.
• It will begin to rise, and bubbles will appear. Once it is golden brown underneath, turn it over.
• When golden brown on the second side, remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining dough.

FRIED DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat the oil to 350 degrees F. Dust the dough with the flour. Pound out the dough as thin as possible with your hands or with a rolling pin. Cut the dough into 2 pieces. Carefully place the dough into the hot oil. Cook until the dough is browned, 1 to 2 minutes, then repeat on the other side. Carefully transfer the dough from the oil to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Place the dough on a clean plate. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the dough and dust with the powdered sugar.

PIZZA FRITTA (FRIED PIZZA DOUGH)

Steps:

• Heat oil in frying pan.
• Break off ~2" pieces of dough.
• Place in hot oil, cook until done (around 3-5 min and turning once).
• Place on paper towel and let drain (1 min).
• Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Cut open and place in a teaspoon of jelly (optional), or just eat them as is.
• --OR--.
• Do not add sugar/jelly - let cool and just cut open place sauce/cheese/meat/whatever inside then bake in oven for ~3-5min (until done). It's like having an extra good hot pocket LOL.

FRIED BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Spray a large platter or bowl with cooking spray.
• Place the two frozen loaves on the platter or bowl and cover with plastic wrap that has also been sprayed (the spray will help the dough not to stick as you are cutting it off in the morning).
• Place in an unheated oven, out of the way of drafts, about ten hours before you want to fry it.
• In the morning, place the vegetable oil in a heavy pan about three inches deep.
• Heat the oil on medium high so that when a very small piece of dough is dropped in the oil, it sizzles.
• With a very sharp knife, slices off hunks of dough about the size of small baseball and pull them slightly so that they stretch out.
• Place in hot oil and brown on one side and then turn with fork and brown the other side.
• When done, drain on paper towels and repeat the process.
• Serve hot with butter (and I like a little salt on them), sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
• You may also try cinnamon and sugar or maple syrup.

• Add flour, beating vigorously until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a smooth surface, and knead with greased hands until smooth.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface.
• Cover with a damp cloth.
• Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 to 1/1/2 hours.
