Mix yeast and warm water in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture; stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

While dough rises, soak black-eyed peas in water for at least 2 hours; drain.

Blend soaked peas with onion, garlic, bell pepper, and spices until smooth.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop small portions of the dough and shape into balls; carefully drop into hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.

In a separate pan, heat oil and sauté the blended bean mixture until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Serve puff-puff warm alongside the bean mixture, garnished with green onions and pepper sauce.
