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)
Dipping Sauce
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all required ingredients including pizza dough, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce for dipping.
- Prepare Dough: Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for 20 minutes if store-bought, or roll out your homemade dough into a flat sheet.
- Cut Dough Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares.
- Add Filling: On each dough square, place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, sprinkle Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.
- Seal Rolls: Fold over the dough square to cover the filling and crimp the edges carefully to seal the rolls and prevent filling from leaking out during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange in Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking, then place the pizza rolls in a single layer without crowding them.
- Air Fry: Cook the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Experiment with different fillings like bell peppers, onions, or various cheese types to customize your pizza rolls.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Store any leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to maintain crispiness rather than using a microwave.
