Fried Flatbread Pizza Rolls

INSTRUCTIONS:

To make the flatbread:

1. Add flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Blend.
2. Make a well.
3. Add water and oil. Mix with a fork until it comes together.
4. Knead by hand in the bowl for one minute until the dough becomes smooth. It should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
5. Lightly grease the bowl and dough.
6. Shape into a ball.
7. Cover with plastic wrap.
8. Allow to sit at room temp for 30 minutes.

For the pizza rolls:

1. Add 1 1/4-inch of vegetable or canola oil to a pan with deep sides. Preheat to 350° F.
2. Divide the dough in half. Keep one covered in the bowl.
3. Roll the other half into a rectangle approximately 6-inch x 15-inch and about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
4. Place on parchment paper, or lift dough and lightly flour surface underneath. This is to prevent sticking when transferring to hot oil.
5. Lightly score (do not cut through) 2-inch wide sections along the length of the dough to used as a visual divider guide.
6. In 4 or 5 of the sections, layer hamburger, cheese, sauce, and pepperoni on one side of each section.
7. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to slice through and separate the sections.
8. Fold the and crimp edges using tines of a fork to close. Transfer to hot oil.
9. Cover the unused dough with plastic wrap.
10. Fry until golden, flipping over once. There will be a bit of splashing.
11. Transfer to a cooling rack.
12. Repeat assembling and the remaining frying pizza rolls.
13. Repeat rolling out the remaining reserved half of the dough. Assemble and fry as previous.
14. Serve with additional pizza sauce or marinara sauce of choice, optional.

Makes about 16 pizza rolls.
