Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to make 9-12 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, warmed (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all your ingredients so that you have everything ready to go before starting the recipe.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to become pliable. If homemade, roll it out into an even layer about 1/8-inch thick.
  3. Cut Dough: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into 3×3 inch squares for easy filling and rolling.
  4. Fill Rolls: Place mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, a pinch of salt, and Italian seasoning in the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold each square over the filling to create a roll and crimp the edges well to seal in the ingredients and prevent leaking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking, then arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking or turning the basket halfway through to brown them evenly on all sides.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza rolls cool slightly after cooking, then serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • If you want extra crispiness, spray the tops of the rolls with a small amount of olive oil before cooking.
  • You can customize fillings by adding cooked vegetables, different cheeses, or meats as desired.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or use spicy pepperoni.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
  • Ensure the dough edges are sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during cooking.
