Welcome to the cooking video for Newfoundland Toutons.

Explain that toutons are fried dough, traditionally served as a snack or part of breakfast.

Mention that this dough is fried slowly to create a crust and puffy inside.

Show the pizza dough, noting it was raw and not frozen, and divide it into eight pieces.

Let the dough pieces rest for about 20 minutes covered with a towel.

Heat a combination of oil and butter in a frying pan, ensuring it doesn't get too hot.

Flatten the dough pieces slightly before frying them.

Fry the dough for about 4 to 5 minutes on one side until puffed and golden brown.

Turn the dough pieces over and fry for another 4 to 5 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary.

Place the cooked toutons on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in a 250°F oven to keep warm while frying the remaining pieces.

Taste test the toutons with molasses and butter, suggesting they could also be enjoyed with cinnamon sugar.
