Pizza Rolls

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2-3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup shredded cheese

  e.g., mozzarella, cheddar
• ½ cup chopped pepperoni

  cut into small pieces
• ¾ cup pizza sauce

Instructions

• 1 In a bowl, add the active dry yeast to warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes to
  activate and become foamy.
• 2 Stir in the sugar, salt, and oil into the yeast-water mixture.
• 3 Gradually add 2-3 cups of all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until
  a smooth and elastic dough forms. Adjust the amount of flour as needed to
  achieve the right consistency.
• 4 Cover the dough and let it rise for 20 minutes in a warm, draft-free place until
  it doubles in size.
• 5 While the dough is rising, prepare the pizza filling by combining the shredded
  cheese, chopped pepperoni, and pizza sauce in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
• 6 Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛
  inch thickness.
• 7 Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into rectangles measuring
  approximately 2×4 inches.
• 8 Spoon about a tablespoon of the pizza filling onto each rectangle, then fold
  over the dough to form a pocket, enclosing the filling.
• 9 Pinch the edges of the pockets together to seal them.
• 10 Heat oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
• 11 Fry the pizza rolls in the hot oil for about 2 minutes on each side or until
  they turn golden brown and crispy.
• 12 Remove the fried pizza rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined
  plate to absorb any excess oil.
• 13 Serve the pizza rolls while they are warm and enjoy!
