Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12 ounces)
  • 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

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature for easier handling.
  2. Add Fillings: Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by pepperoni slices. Season with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  3. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one long edge. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the log into 12 equal pieces, each representing one pizza roll.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the pizza rolls cut-side up in the basket, making sure they don’t touch to allow even air circulation.
  5. Air Fry the Pizza Rolls: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the rolls for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes to avoid burning. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use store-bought pizza dough for convenience or homemade dough for a fresher taste.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with vegetables, different cheeses, or meats as desired.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before eating to prevent burns from hot cheese.
  • Marinara sauce can be warmed for a more comforting dipping experience.
