Ingredients

1 pound prepared pizza dough 3/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3 tablespoons melted butter Vegetable oil, for deep-frying Olive oil, for deep-frying Directions Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a floured donut cutter cut out donuts. Gather the dough scraps and reroll. Cut out more doughnuts. Blend the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Pour equal parts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the doughnuts until they puff but are still pale, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the doughnuts to paper towels to drain.. Options: While the doughnuts are still warm, roll in butter and coat with the cinnamon-sugar. Or Stir 3 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips chocolate or Vanilla chips and 1/4 cup of cream in small saucepan over medium-low heat until the chocolate melts. Set aside until the chocolate sauce comes to room temperature Dip 1 side of each doughnut into the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts or festive candy sprinkles
