How to Make Easy Pizza Rolls
Step 1: Heat the Oil
Pour the canola oil into a deep pot or fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C). The oil needs to be hot enough so the rolls cook quickly and become crispy without soaking up too much oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Wash
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together until smooth. This mixture will help seal the wrappers so they stay closed while frying.
Step 3: Fill the Wrappers
Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you.
Add:
-
About 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce
-
4–5 slices of pepperoni
-
Around 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella
Don’t overfill them. A little goes a long way, and too much filling can cause them to burst open during frying.
Step 4: Roll Them Up
Fold the bottom corner over the filling.
Fold in both sides tightly.
Brush the top corner lightly with the egg wash.
Roll upward firmly until sealed.
Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
Step 5: Fry Until Golden
Carefully place a few rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with extra pizza sauce for dipping. These Easy pizza rolls are best enjoyed hot when the cheese is perfectly melted.

FAQ
Can I bake them instead of frying?
Yes. Lightly brush them with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Can I cook them in an air fryer?
Yes. Spray lightly with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes.
Why are my rolls opening while frying?
This usually happens if they’re overfilled or not sealed tightly. Use the egg wash generously on the edges.
Can I make them ahead of time?
You can assemble them a few hours in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator until ready to fry.
Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze uncooked rolls in a single layer first, then store in a freezer-safe bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two.
