Pizza Rolls Ingredients

  • 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)
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to have them readily available for easy preparation of the pizza rolls.
  2. Prepare Dough: Let store-bought pizza dough sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to make it easier to work with, or roll out your homemade dough to a thickness suitable for cutting squares.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares, which will be the base for each pizza roll.
  4. Fill Squares: Add a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices onto each dough square, sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold each dough square over the filling to create a sealed roll, then crimp the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and arrange the sealed pizza rolls in a single layer, leaving space between each.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the rolls halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly after cooking and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing the overall taste.

Notes

  • Ensure dough squares are sealed tightly to avoid cheese leakage while cooking.
  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables or different types of cheese as desired.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size of your pizza rolls and air fryer model.
  • Spray olive oil lightly to get a crispy exterior but avoid using too much to prevent sogginess.
  • Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best crispness.
