Something different from pizza dough

I know this has nothing to do with pizza, other than pizza dough is the basis for the "recipe". I had a ball of the dough I used to make for pizza in the freezer, but since I found PR's Neo-Neapolitan formula, I was loathe to use it for pizza. I also recently saw Giada de Laurentiis make doughnuts using pizza dough on her show. Armed with the dough and a big jug of canola oil, I made some of my own doughnuts this weekend.

I just rolled them in cinnamon sugar per the recipe.  They were pretty darned good!

I bet your daughter and hubby were thrilled! Did they taste divine???

They tasted delicious.  The texture wasn't exactly Krispy-Kreme worthy, but more chewy.  Yet they were still delicious and just flew off the plate!

Sure Andrew, Floyd included the recipe (from Peter Reinhart) in his Pizza Primer. Scroll down and you'll find the instructions. It's not sourdough, but it IS fantastic. Be sure to post about it if you try it! =)

for the link. I'll give this a whirl. But I'll try to convert to sourdough - I am hooked on it!
