Ingredients
Pizza Rolls
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to cut into squares
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil (for spraying)
Dipping
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients including pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce.
- Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften. If homemade, roll the dough out evenly on a clean surface.
- Cut Dough Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled-out dough into 3 by 3 inch squares for the rolls.
- Fill Dough Squares: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and a little salt in the center of each square.
- Seal the Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and crimp the edges tightly to seal the filling inside.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange in Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding for proper air circulation.
- Air Fry the Rolls: Cook for 8-10 minutes at 375°F, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Try different fillings such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or alternate cheeses like cheddar or provolone for variety.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crispiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for best texture and flavor.
