Pizza Rolls Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to make 12 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) – 1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients to ensure everything is ready before starting the recipe.
  2. Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften. For homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into 3×3 inch squares for perfect bite-sized pizza rolls.
  4. Add Filling: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and salt onto the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold each square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle and crimp the edges tightly with your fingers or a fork to seal the filling inside.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it run for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer, leaving space between each.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the rolls halfway through cooking so they brown evenly and crisp up nicely.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls and let them cool for a few minutes before serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is not too thick for quicker and more even cooking.
  • Do not overfill the rolls or they may burst open during air frying.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with vegetables, different cheeses, or meats.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • Use olive oil spray lightly to keep the rolls from getting soggy and promote crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
