Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, enough to cut into 3x3 inch squares)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil, for spraying

For Serving

  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes for easier handling. If homemade, roll the dough out evenly on a floured surface.
  3. Cut Dough: Cut the rolled dough into approximately 3×3 inch squares, which will form the individual pizza rolls.
  4. Fill the Rolls: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt onto the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and firmly crimp the edges to seal the rolls, preventing the filling from leaking out during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Arrange and Spray: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking, then arrange the sealed pizza rolls in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
  8. Cook: Cook the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the rolls halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
  9. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, let the pizza rolls cool slightly before serving them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings such as diced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or other cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varied flavors.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cooking in batches may be necessary for even crispness and cooking.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days to maintain freshness.
  • Reheat the pizza rolls in the air fryer for a few minutes for best texture, as it restores the crispiness better than the microwave.
