Pizza Rolls with a Punchline: A Side-Splitting Recipe for Foodie Fun

Alright, gather ’round, aspiring culinary comedians! Today, we’re diving into the hilariously entertaining world of DIY Mozzarella Stick Pizza Rolls. It’s a gastronomic adventure that will have your taste buds doing the cha-cha and your funny bone in stitches.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons of dry yeast (because, let’s face it, life is already chaotic enough)

1 teaspoon of olive oil (for that touch of sophistication, because we’re fancy like that)

3/4 cup of warm water (not too hot, not too cold—just like the Goldilocks of hydration)

1/4 cup of warm milk (because why should water have all the fun?)

1/2 teaspoon of sugar (a sweet addition to balance out your existential dread)

2 3/4 cups of flour, divided (because one cup just wasn’t feeling the party vibe)

A pinch of salt (for those who love to live life on the edge)

1 egg (because every pizza roll deserves its own personal ovation)

1 tablespoon of oregano (because we’re all about that herb life)

2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese (because life is better with a little sprinkle of joy)

1/4 cup of tomato sauce (the saucier, the better)

1/2 cup of sliced pepperoni (because who doesn’t love a good pepperoni fashion show?)

9 ounces of mozzarella cheese sticks (the true stars of our cheesy comedy)

Now, onto the play-by-play of this culinary comedy routine:

In a bowl big enough to hold your hopes and dreams, mix the yeast, olive oil, water, milk, and sugar. Add 2 cups of flour and a pinch of salt. Stir it up like your favorite conspiracy theory.

Slowly add the remaining flour while kneading the dough until it’s smoother than a pick-up line at a pizza joint. Let it take a well-deserved 30-minute nap. Rest, dough, rest.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, because we like to keep things toasty.

In a small bowl, whip up an egg, oregano, and grated Parmesan. Set it aside—this is your backstage pass to flavor town.

Sprinkle some flour on a surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut it into rectangles because squares are so last season.

Brush each piece of dough with tomato sauce, lay down the pepperoni slices like you’re arranging a pizza orchestra, and plop a mozzarella stick right in the center. Roll it up like a red carpet moment.

Place your doughy masterpieces on a baking sheet and give them the VIP treatment with the egg mixture brush.

Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until they’re golden and ready to steal the show.

There you have it, folks—Mozzarella Stick Pizza Rolls, the culinary comedy that’ll leave your taste buds applauding and your oven asking for an encore. Bon appétit and may your kitchen be forever filled with laughter and delicious chaos!
