Critical Success Points

  • Render Pepperoni Fat to reduce greasiness
  • Seal dough tightly around filling to prevent cheese leakage
  • Maintain oil at 350°F for even frying

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; use a deep‑fat thermometer and keep a lid nearby in case of splatter.
  • Do not leave oil unattended while heating.
  • Handle the skillet with oven mitts; the handle becomes extremely hot.
