How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the Marinara

  1. Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Sauté minced garlic until golden.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  5. Stir in fresh basil for an aromatic finish.

Step 2: Make the Mozzarella Rolls

  1. Cut mozzarella into sticks.
  2. Place one stick on a wonton wrapper, fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a spring roll, sealing the edges with beaten egg.

Step 3: Bread the Rolls

  1. Dip rolls into flour, then egg, then coat in panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set the coating.

Step 4: Fry Until Golden

  1. Heat oil to 170–180°C in a deep pan.
  2. Fry rolls for a few minutes until crisp and golden brown.
  3. Drain on paper towels.

Tips for the Perfect Mozzarella Rolls

✔ Use firm mozzarella – Soft mozzarella melts too quickly. ✔ Lighter Option – Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, brushing with oil. ✔ Extra Flavor – Add paprika or chili powder to the breadcrumbs for a kick. ✔ Make-Ahead – Freeze rolls up to 1 month and fry straight from frozen!

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with fresh arugula & cherry tomato salad for contrast.
  • Great for parties with crunchy veggie sticks & ranch dressing.
  • Serve alongside burgers or pasta for a comforting meal.
