Like this and this, this recipe comes from Real Simple’s 10 Ideas for: Pizza Dough. I never would have thought I’d 1) be able to make funnel cake (err, well funnel cake-esque) at home or 2) enoy a delicious dessert made out of pizza dough! A lot of pizza joints get crafty trying to re-purpose their pizza dough for desserts, too. I have yet to have one that is remotely good. But this recipe will not disappoint. Like I said, not only is it delicious but it’s so incredibly quick and easy.

I didn’t have time to whip up a homemade chocolate sauce so I just used some ice cream chocolate topping! My husband, not a fan of chocolate, dipped some nuggets of sugary, fried goodness in raspberry jam. If you try that, be sure to whisk it real good beforehand to get a better dipping/saucy consistency.
