Great recipe.. just tried it and I didn't have any yeast (most fried dough calls for it...) so I did not have many options. The dough says to roll out to 1/2 inch but I just flattened the 4 balls with my hand pretty thin.. like a tad thicker than pie crust and they thicken up as they fry. The first one I kept really thick (like the recipe called for) and it actually was cooked well outside and inside was a little bit under cooked. So the thinner you go the better in my experience with it! Yummmm.. and a good thing to top with is just a little red sauce and sprinkle of parm cheese :) Just like Blinks fried dough from the beach!!!
