Put the vegetable oil in a dutch oven or deep pan. Add 1/2 inch of oil. Heat oil to 300 °. The oil should stay between 300-325° during frying.

Remove pizza dough from the wrapper and slice into 8-10 even slices. Slice each piece again in two.

Roll each piece of dough into a ball making sure any loose ends are pinched together.

Fry the dough for 2-4 minutes, until it is puffy and lightly golden brown. If the dough unravels don't worry. They are still going to be delicious. Make sure to turn the dough over in the oil to brown all sides.

Remove the fasnachts and drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, melt the butter. Set aside.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

When the fasnachts are drained, dunk them in butter to cover and roll them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

They are ready to eat. They can be make ahead and eaten later in the day. They won't last long!
