Pizza Rolls Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough for about 12 rolls
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil (for spraying)
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping) – as needed

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients to make the pizza rolls to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. If homemade, roll the dough out evenly on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into 3-inch by 3-inch squares to create individual pizza roll portions.
  4. Fill the Squares: Place a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese, 2-3 pepperoni slices, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal the Rolls: Fold the dough over each filling to form a sealed pocket and crimp the edges firmly with your fingers or a fork to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Arrange Rolls: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the pizza rolls in a single layer, making sure they do not touch for even air circulation.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking or flipping the basket halfway through to ensure all sides become golden and crispy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza rolls cool for 2-3 minutes after cooking to avoid burns. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling with other ingredients like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the dough lightly with olive oil before air frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
  • If you prefer, use gluten-free pizza dough to make this recipe gluten-free.
