Ingredients

Units Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) - enough to make several 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) - as desired

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including pizza dough, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to become more pliable. If using homemade dough, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  3. Cut Dough into Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  4. Fill the Squares: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the center of each square.
  5. Seal the Rolls: Fold each dough square over the filling to form a sealed pocket. Press and crimp the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the sealed pizza rolls in a single layer, allowing enough space between them.
  8. Cook the Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes. At the 5-minute mark, shake or turn the rolls to ensure even browning and cooking on all sides.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls carefully and let them cool slightly to avoid burns. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables like bell peppers or olives for extra flavor.
  • Make sure the edges are sealed properly to avoid the filling leaking out during air frying.
  • For crispier rolls, spray a little olive oil on top before air frying.
  • These pizza rolls reheat well in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
  • Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding, which can affect cooking results.
