Pizza rolls should taste like pizza, savory pepperoni, gooey cheese, fried in a homemade dough? I don’t think I’ll ever burn the roof of my mouth again with a Totino’s Pizza Roll.


INGREDIENTS:

Dough:

  • 125g all-purpose flour

  • 20g tapioca starch

  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) fine sea salt

  • 70g warm water (100F)

  • 4g vegetable oil

Sauce:

  • 6oz (170g) pancetta, ¼” strips

  • 3 tablespoon (30g) extra virgin olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 2 red Fresno chilies, finely diced

  • 28oz (794g) can crushed tomatoes

  • 3 springs (6g) fresh thyme

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Filling & Assembly:

  • 1 cup (60g) Monterey Jack, grated

  • 1 cup (60g) low moisture mozzarella, grated

  • 1/2 cup (30g) Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

  • 1/2 lb 227g) pepperoni, ¼” cubes

  • Dough from above or 1 pack square wonton wrappers

  • 1 large bunch of basil

  • 2.5 quarts (2.4L) vegetable oil for frying


INSTRUCTIONS:

Dough:

  1. In a medium sized bowl add flour, tapioca starch, and salt; whisk till combined. Then add water, mix with a fork until you get a shaggy dough. Then knead by hand until smooth and extensible, about five minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. Remove the plastic wrap, and cut your dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece on a pasta roller until you get a sheet about ⅛” thick.

  3. Cut it into 2.5” by 2.5” squares. Keep them covered and dusted heavily with cornstarch, so they do not stick or dry out.

Sauce:

  1. Set a medium sauce pot over medium heat, add pancetta olive oil and cook until brown and crispy, around five minutes, stirring often.

  2. Then add garlic, red fresno chilies, and saute until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Then add crushed tomatoes, thyme, season lightly with salt and optionally a pinch of sugar.

  3. Bring to a boil over medium high, immediately reduce the heat to low, then simmer and reduce for eight minutes, stirring occasionally. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.

Filling & Assembly:

  1. In a small bowl mix monterey jack, mozzarella, and parmigiano until thoroughly combined.

  2. Assembly.- Place a square of your dough on a work surface, add ½ a teaspoon of your cheese mix, followed by a scant teaspoon of sauce, a few pieces of pepperoni, and finally add another ½ teaspoon of your cheese mix.

  3. Lightly damp the perimeter of your dough with water, fold one corner over the filling, then fold the opposite edge over that to form a tube. Next, fold the bottom corner up and over, making sure to seal the edges all around it, and last, fold the top down to fully seal. Repeat with the rest of your filling and dough.

  4. Fill up a five-quart pot with oil, and heat up to 375F. Fry your “rolls” in two or three batches for around 2 to 3 minutes each or until you get a nice golden brown crisp exterior.

  5. Remove and drain on a wire rack, and repeat with the rest of your pizza rolls. Enjoy while hot and still crisp.

The more I heard “wow is that ugly, wow don’t you feel weird wearing that, wow is that like a link promotional watch for Lady Gaga Oreos,” the more I thought of the phrase “Pearls before swine.” If I had a Rolex, everyone would love it, including me. But the fact that I loved link this watch rather link by myself made the relationship sweeter and more poignant.

The car world and watch world are tied together. There's link a crossover that becomes very apparent when you casually look at lists link of what watch link enthusiasts are following on Instagram. Of course, there are plenty of folks only concerned with watches, but a large percentage of watch people are car people, and vice versa. Myself included.

The strap is actually quick-change compatible and the Olympic 1932 Chrono Chime includes an additional wrist link strap, as well as a pocket leash (should you wish to carry it like a pocket watch), and a leather neck link strap for those who might want to try their hand at timing an Olympic link sprint in the traditional fashion.

Because the [Re]Master02 is really an experiment. link While link it's based on an asymmetrical vintage watch in AP's archives, almost everything else is different: size, material, finish, link and movement. Experimentation was also the driving force behind the inspiration for the [Re]Master02, reference 5159BA, a watch so rare it doesn't even have a proper name.

This time, however, some additional handwork goes into black polishing every single link chronograph lever, link meaning that at one angle all of these fully-polished parts will link appear jet black. With the other frosted movements we've seen, the levers have been traditionally brushed on top. This mirror polishing is sure to provide a striking contrast in the movement.
