Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to make several 3×3 inch squares
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil (for spraying)

Dipping Sauce

  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to have everything ready before you start preparing the pizza rolls.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften. If using homemade dough, roll it out evenly to a thickness suitable for rolling into squares.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares to get uniformly sized pizza rolls.
  4. Fill Squares: Place a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt onto the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges tightly to seal the pizza rolls so the filling doesn’t leak during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it is hot enough for crisp cooking.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding for even air circulation.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the rolls halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes after cooking to avoid burning your mouth. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables like diced bell peppers or mushrooms if desired.
  • Make sure to seal the edges very well to prevent the cheese from leaking out during air frying.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the rolls in batches to ensure even cooking.
  • Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for crispiness.
