Homemade Pizza Rolls

Pizza rolls and marina sauce.
I bought won-ton wrappers at the store the other day on a whim. I didn't really have anything in mind, i just wanted to make something. Then i remembered these Pizza Logs my family ordered from a fundraiser back when i was in tech school. They were wrapped in a crunchy outer shell and looked like an egg roll rather than a doughy ball. They were delicious. I never really gave it a second thought about what the crust was until today. It may not have been a won-ton/egg roll wrapper, but these surely did the job. These are some of the best pizza rolls i've ever tasted. And i can honestly say, i'll never buy pizza rolls from the store again. They just don't even compare to these. Mmm! And these are so easy/cheap to make a lot and freeze them for later. This "recipe" really depends on how much pepperoni/cheese you want in each one, and how many you want to make.

Homemade Pizza Rolls
won-ton or egg roll wrappers (Depends how big you want them. I used won-ton wrappers.)
shredded mozzarella cheese
pepperoni (I bought a stick and shredded it. Slices should work fine too.)
oil, for frying
marinara sauce, for dipping

  • Start heating enough oil to cover pizza rolls in a pot to 350 degrees. Around 1-2 inches.
  • Place a single wrapper on a clean surface. Place amount of cheese and pepperoni you want in the center of the wrapper. Make sure to leave enough room to roll up. 
                                       
  •  Start by folding two opposing corners together. Use water as an adhesive.
                                    
  • Fold one of the remaining sides into the middle, using water to help it stick.
                                   
  • Roll the pizza roll starting on the enclosed side.
                                    
  • Fry the pizza roll(s) in preheated oil until golden brown.
