Instructions

Make one recipe's worth of pizza dough using this recipe: Pizza dough recipe
Cut off a piece of dough, and shape it into a round on a well floured surface (do not use a rolling pin). 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.

Notes

The recipe below requires 12-18 hrs to rest, so plan accordingly.
Top with your favorite ingredients or eat plain.
You can sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar and call them elephant ears (carnival food).
