Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to cut into 3×3 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 ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Prepare Dough: Allow store-bought dough to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to become pliable, or roll out homemade dough to an even thickness.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares, ensuring consistent sizes for even cooking.
  4. Fill Dough Squares: Place a portion of shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt onto the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold each dough square over the filling to form a pouch and press/crimp the edges firmly to seal and prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Arrange Rolls: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and place the pizza rolls in a single layer, leaving some space between them for air circulation.
  8. Cook: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the rolls halfway through cooking to achieve crispy and golden exteriors.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza rolls cool slightly after cooking before serving them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables or different cheeses.
  • Make sure to seal edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out during cooking.
  • If your air fryer is small, cook the pizza rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Leftover pizza rolls can be reheated in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes to retain crispiness.
