One of the things I missed most about Maryland was the FOOD! I had some fierce super chewy donut cravings. Don’t get me wrong – Texas definitely delivered when it came to good food as well. It’s just a different kind of food I missed. Above all, the crabs! Second to that is the delicious Italian food found all over Baltimore. My in-laws were amazing enough to overnight Maryland crabcakes to us in a FedEx ice-packed cooler. As far as Italian donuts? I made my own – and they’re JUST as good as I remember in Maryland.

Recreating Super Chewy Donuts at Home
Special Supplies Needed:
Pizza Dough (for Super Chewy Donuts):
, heat the oil to 370 degrees.
While the oil is heating, cut and roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a large gumball. When the oil is ready, use a strainer ladle (or in my case, metal tongs) to place the dough into the oil.
Once the dough is deep golden brown, remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel. Quickly toss the dough in the bowl of sugar and enjoy your super chewy donuts!
They look great! I've done biscuit dough donuts using this same method, but I will definitely try out the pizza dough next time!
My kids would love this! I will have to make it for a treat next rainy day we have!
I think I'm in heaven!!!!!!!! My baby wants nothing but donuts and considering she just got her tonsils out she can't swallow much but we can certainly drool over these…..mouth watering~
This looks great! Where in Texas are you living (if you don't mind me asking!)
oh my gosh! I want some of these right now!
I could be in soooo much trouble. My son and I used to go watch Krispy Kreme's being made after I picked him up from the baby sitter. I love donuts. This would be really fun to do with the kiddos…I grew up on donuts (sad, but true). I am making I'm Tickled Pink a linky this friday…you should link this up…everyone would eat it up!

My great-aunt makes these using a sour dough and we call them Dough Gods because they're so good. LOL
Love the this! Great recipe. I will have to try it. P.S. I'm from Texas – great foods. I now live in Australia – great foods too, but different.

YOu are gonna laugh at me but I have been craving doughnuts and told Cody I wanted to make some. Then I discovered I had no powdered sugar and the market here was out of it! Seriously?! How could they be OUT? So I had already made the dough and I used the white wheat flour just to see how it came out. We ended up ACTUALLY making pizza and it was really good. haha Today I FINALLY found powdered sugar so I'll have to make another batch of dough. 🙂 hee hee
