Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Rolls
- 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
For Serving
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients so they’re ready to use, including dough, cheese, pepperoni, seasonings, and marinara sauce.
- Prepare Dough: Let store-bought dough sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to make it easier to roll, or roll out homemade dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter for uniform pizza rolls.
- Fill the Rolls: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the center of each dough square.
- Seal the Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges tightly with your fingers or a fork to seal the pizza rolls and prevent leaking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking, then arrange the prepared pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Cook Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket or flipping halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Try different fillings like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or various cheeses such as cheddar or provolone for variety.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness of each roll.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Reheat leftover pizza rolls in the air fryer to restore their crispy texture, about 3-4 minutes at 375°F.
