Instructions
Before starting, remove pizza dough from the fridge and rest in a warm spot for 30 min. Preheat the oven to 475ºF.Gather all required baking tools. Add 6 cups water and baking soda to a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, lightly oil a clean work surface. Divide each dough ball into 4 pieces, then roll each piece into a 12-inch-long rope. Cut each rope in half. (NOTE: Don't worry if dough ropes shrink when cut into pieces.)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working in two batches, add half the churro sticks to the boiling water and cook for 30 sec. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove churros, letting any excess liquid drip off. Place churros on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them each around 2 inches apart. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 8-10 min.
Meanwhile, add 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water to a medium pot over medium heat. Cook without stirring until sugar completely dissolves and turns an amber colour, 8-12 min. (NOTE: The sugar will start to clump at first, but resist the urge to stir it until the sugar is completely dissolved) Immediately remove the pot from heat and whisk in 2 tbsp butter (NOTE: Careful when whisking as the mixture will bubble up.)Slowly whisk in heavy cream, 1 tbsp at a time, until completely incorporated. Whisk in 1/2 tsp salt. Pour caramel dip into a serving dish and set aside to cool to room temperature, 15 min.
Melt 2 tbsp butter in the microwave. Remove churros from the oven and drizzle with melted butter. Toss to coat.Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl, then whisk to combine. Place churros, one at a time, in cinnamon sugar mixture, tossing until coated. Repeat with remaining churros. (NOTE: Any remaining cinnamon sugar makes a great oatmeal or cookie topping!)Transfer churros to a serving plate. Serve salted caramel alongside for dipping.
