How To Deep Fry Pizza Rolls

Are you ready to take your love for pizza rolls to the next level? Deep frying pizza rolls is a delicious and indulgent way to enjoy this classic snack. In this guide, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of deep frying pizza rolls to crispy perfection.

Ingredients:

Before we get started, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need:

  • 1 package of frozen pizza rolls
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • All-purpose flour
  • Egg wash (beaten egg with a splash of water)
  • Breadcrumbs or panko
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions:

Now that we have everything we need, let’s dive into the deep frying process:

  1. Start by heating the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
  2. While the oil is heating up, prepare a breading station. Place the flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
  3. Take the frozen pizza rolls and coat each one in the flour, then dip them in the egg wash, and finally coat them in the breadcrumbs. This triple-coating will ensure a crispy exterior once they’re fried.
  4. Once the oil has reached the right temperature, carefully drop a few breaded pizza rolls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the fryer, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy pizza rolls.
  5. Fry the pizza rolls for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  6. Once done, use the slotted spoon to transfer the fried pizza rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  7. Allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair them with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:

Here are a few additional tips to ensure deep-fried pizza roll success:

  • Don’t thaw the pizza rolls before frying them. Frying them from frozen helps prevent the filling from oozing out.
  • Monitor the oil temperature throughout the frying process. Using a kitchen thermometer can help you maintain the ideal frying temperature.
  • If you don’t have breadcrumbs on hand, crushed crackers or panko can be used as a substitute for breading.
  • For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a pinch of your favorite seasoning, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning, to the breadcrumbs.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces, like ranch dressing or buffalo sauce, to find your favorite flavor combination.

Conclusion:

Deep frying pizza rolls is a fun and delicious way to enjoy this beloved snack. With a crispy, golden exterior and a piping hot, gooey interior, these deep-fried delights are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So, grab a batch of frozen pizza rolls, heat up some oil, and get ready to indulge in a crispy, flavorful treat!
