Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to cut into 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

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients including the pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to relax. If using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface until smooth and about 1/8-inch thick.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter to ensure even-sized rolls.
  4. Add Fillings: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few slices of pepperoni, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and a small pinch of salt on each dough square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to form a roll and crimp the edges tightly with your fingers or a fork to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 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 pizza rolls in a single layer without touching to allow hot air circulation.
  8. Cook Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Shake or turn the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to not overfill the rolls to avoid leaking during cooking.
  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables or different types of cheese.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake in a conventional oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.
  • Letting the dough rest at room temperature helps with easier stretching and folding.
  • Use non-stick spray or a light brush of olive oil to get a crispier outer crust.
