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
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients including pizza dough, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil spray, and marinara sauce for dipping.
- Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes; if homemade, roll it out evenly on a floured surface into a flat sheet.
- Cut Dough: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 3×3 inch squares to make individual pizza rolls.
- Fill Rolls: Place a generous amount of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the center of each square.
- Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to form a roll and crimp the edges firmly with your fingers or a fork to seal and prevent leaks during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to avoid sticking and arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer without overlapping.
- Cook Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer, let them cool slightly to avoid burning, and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with other meats, vegetables, or cheeses as desired.
- Make sure not to overfill the dough squares to prevent bursting during air frying.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best crispness.
- For a crispier crust, lightly brush the rolls with olive oil before air frying instead of spraying.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model; keep an eye to prevent burning.
