Instructions
I used a deep fryer for this recipe but you could also use an air fryer.Set up your deep fryer. Pour the oil in the fryer and set it to 375. If you are using a large pot heat your oil over medium to high heat.Roll out the pizza dough and slice into 14 equal pieces.place a generous amount of mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni in the center of each piece of pizza dough.Pull the edges together of the pizza dough and roll into a ball. You want to make sure the dough is closed tightly, otherwise, it will open when you are frying them.Gently drop a few balls into the heated oil. Cook each ball until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side. You will need to roll them or flip them to ensure even frying on each side.Remove from the fryer and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.While the pizza rolls are fryer, heat up your marinara sauce. Brush each pizza ball with a little melted butter and roll in the parmesan cheese. Serve with warm marinara sauce. These are best served warm.
