Preparation

Step 1

Place both frozen bread dough loaves on a greased baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean damp towel, and cover towel loosely with a sheet of plastic wrap. Let dough thaw and rise, uncovered, in refrigerator overnight. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; cover and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut each loaf into 12 equal pieces. Cover pieces with a towel.

Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a Dutch oven; heat to 375 degrees. Fry dough, 4 pieces at a time, 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden; drain on paper towels. Roll warm beignets in powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
