1

In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 4 inches oil to 350°F over medium-high heat.
2

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sauce and dressing; set aside in refrigerator.
3

Separate dough into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise in half.
4

Place 1 piece of cheese on pointed end of triangle, and roll up completely. Fold edges around cheese; press to close. Repeat with remaining dough and cheese.
5

Fry in batches in hot oil 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until browned all over, turning halfway through frying to ensure even cooking. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sauce.

Get the most out of your oil by frying unbreaded veggies first, followed by breaded veggies or cheese, then finally fish, chicken or pork.
These party-pleasing bites are great with the sauce for adults, but for kid-friendly flair, try serving with marinara or honey mustard.
