Pizza Rolls Ingredients
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough for 12 rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil (for spraying)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping) – about 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- 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 on a floured surface.
- Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares to create individual pizza rolls.
- Fill Dough Squares: Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, top with pepperoni slices, sprinkle Italian seasoning, and add a pinch of salt on each dough square.
- Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling, then crimp the edges tightly to seal the rolls and prevent filling leakage.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Heat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking, then arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer.
- Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding vegetables or different types of cheese.
- Make sure not to overfill the dough squares to avoid spillage during cooking.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, baking at 400°F (204°C) for 12-15 minutes is an alternative method.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
