Here are my simple steps for how to make Nigerian egg roll with yeast
Nigerian egg rolls are made with dough and a few other ingredients mixed together, with a hard-boiled egg rolled inside to form a ball and then deep-fried. They cook well in low heat but can burn easily if the oil is too hot. So, a blog reader searched for Nigerian egg roll recipes on the blog and had to contact me when she couldn’t find any.
I quickly remembered that the dough I use for pizza can give something close, had to add grated nutmeg, and a raw egg to the pizza ingredients to soften a bit, add nutrition.
Gave me the perfect egg rolls. Honestly, I made this small thinking “first attempt” cannot be great but I surprised myself, surprised everyone that ate, and found it hard to believe that I didn’t buy the egg rolls.
When the kids rushed everything and won’t stop asking for more, I had to quickly make a second batch that we all called “recession egg rolls” because these ones were made with pieces of boiled eggs, unlike the first batch. This second batch is smaller in size so, the same ingredients produced 12 egg rolls here while the first batch with full eggs gave just 8.

INGREDIENTS To make best Nigerian egg roll with yeast
INGREDIENTS
3 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3 teaspoons yeast
1 raw egg
8 hard-boiled eggs
250 ml of warm water
1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
COOKING DIRECTION FOR MAKING BEST NIGERIAN EGG ROLL:
1. Add all the ingredients to the flour, mix, break the egg in there, mix a little, and then pour in the warm water and mix for 5 minutes.
Put the dough ball into an airtight container and leave for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, roll the dough in a lightly floured surface and cut with a round cup, lid, or cutter.
- Place an egg in there, roll it up with your hands and continue that way until all the eggs are rolled in the flour.
- Deep fry slowly in vegetable oil. Fry one side till brown before flipping and keep the flame low so it doesn’t cook too fast and burn.
- Remove from oil, place in paper towels, and then serve.
These ingredients produced 8 delicious egg rolls.

Please do. This is so easy and fast to make. Take good care of cravings 🙂
Do I have to wait for the yeast to rise?
No Anon. I waited for about 5 to 10 minutes and started frying. It will rise while frying.
