HOMEMADE PIZZA ROLLS

I don’t know about you, but my kids are addicted to Pizza Rolls. Yeah we go through bags of those little things like they are going out of style. I do have to admit that I also partake in the binging because, hey…I loved them too!

But the cost can add up from buying one bag after another after another and I get kind of sick and tired of always purchasing them so I figured one day that I would just make some homemade pizza rolls instead. Genius!

Now you’re never going to get that “real” pizza roll flavor, because I just can’t copy a boxed meal. But these homemade pizza rolls are just as good and my kids LOVE them!

They are a little time consuming consuming, stuffing each and every roll, but it’s so worth it and it’s fun that you can create something at home that you usually just buy from the grocery store. WIN!

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

Preheat 1"-2" of oil in pan to 350 or in deep fryer.
Cut each of your egg roll wrappers into 4 squares.
Chop your mozzarella cheese into smaller pieces.
In bowl mix together pepperoni, pizza sauce and cheese.
Place heaping teaspoonfuls of filling onto the left side/center of your egg roll wrapper leaving 1/2" above and below filling.
Using your finger, wet all edges of wrapper with water.
Gently roll your pizza roll up and press above and below filling to seal edges.
Wet the top and bottom again and just gently fold each up to create a small seal (reference photos above in post).
Make sure you seal tightly so they do not bust open in oil.
Place about 4 into heated oil at a time frying for about 1-2 minutes until puffy and golden.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate.
Serve with pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
