Fried Bread Dough

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.
