1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar, then stir until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over this mixture, then set aside for 5 minutes, until the yeast is frothy.
2
Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently stretch or roll into a rectangle.
3
Spread the yeast mixture over the pizza dough. Fold the dough in half, then cut into 25 small pieces.
4
Place a large deep saucepan on medium heat, then add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot (it should reach about 375 degrees F on a cooking thermometer), carefully drop in the dough pieces, 4-6 at a time.
5
Cook each piece for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, turning regularly to ensure an even color. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts, then place them on kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
