Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to make about 12 rolls
  • 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) – as needed

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients needed: pizza dough, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce for dipping.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to become more pliable. If using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface into a thin sheet about 1/8-inch thick.
  3. Cut Dough: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into 3×3 inch squares, which will form individual pizza rolls.
  4. Fill Squares: Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt onto the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold each square in half over the filling to form a rectangle. Press and crimp the edges firmly to seal the rolls, ensuring the filling stays inside while cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
  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 heat circulation.
  8. Cook Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes. Halfway through cooking, shake or flip the rolls gently to promote uniform browning and crispiness.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding cooked sausage, vegetables, or different cheeses.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, these pizza rolls can be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to avoid any cheese leakage during cooking.
  • For a crispier exterior, lightly brush the rolls with olive oil before air frying instead of spraying.
  • Leftover pizza rolls store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
