Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough for about 9 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 necessary ingredients including pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to make it easier to work with. If homemade dough is used, roll it out onto a flat surface.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Using a rolling pin and knife, cut the dough into 3×3 inch squares to create individual portions for the rolls.
  4. Fill Squares: On each dough square, add a spoonful of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, sprinkle Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to form a square or rectangle, then crimp the edges firmly to seal the filling inside and prevent leaks during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the sealed pizza rolls in a single layer, leaving space between each for air circulation.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking or flipping the basket halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly and become crispy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls carefully and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spray the tops of the rolls lightly with olive oil before air frying.
  • If you prefer a spicier roll, try adding crushed red pepper flakes or substituting pepperoni with spicy sausage.
  • Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during cooking.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with vegetables, other cheeses, or different meats.
