Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 egg roll wrappers
  • 1/3 cup chopped mini pepperoni (or regular sized, minis are thicker)
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oil. Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for frying the pizza rolls.
  2. Prepare wrappers. Cut each egg roll wrapper into 4 equal squares to serve as the base for your pizza rolls.
  3. Chop cheese. Cut the shredded mozzarella cheese into smaller pieces to make the filling easier to handle and melt evenly.
  4. Make filling. In a bowl, combine the chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and chopped mozzarella cheese, mixing well for an even distribution of flavors.
  5. Fill wrappers. Place a heaping teaspoonful of the filling onto the left center side of each wrapper square, leaving about 1/2 inch space above and below the filling for sealing.
  6. Moisten edges. Use your finger to wet all edges of the wrapper with water to help seal the rolls securely.
  7. Roll and seal. Gently roll up the pizza roll from the filled side, pressing above and below the filling to seal the edges tightly to prevent leaking during frying.
  8. Fold ends. Wet the top and bottom edges again, and fold them up to create a small seal, ensuring a tight, secure closure.
  9. Double-check seals. Ensure all edges are firmly sealed to prevent the rolls from bursting open in the hot oil.
  10. Fry rolls. Carefully place about 4 pizza rolls into the heated oil and fry for 1-2 minutes until they puff up and turn golden brown.
  11. Drain and serve. Remove the pizza rolls from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil before serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for even cooking and to prevent greasy rolls.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to avoid breaking or leaking during frying.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with other pizza toppings like cooked sausage or vegetables for variety.
  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid burns and use a slotted spoon for safe removal of rolls.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
