Pizza Rolls Ingredients
- 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, enough to cut into 3x3 inch squares)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil, for spraying
Serving
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients so everything is ready to use.
- Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to become pliable. If using homemade dough, roll it out to the desired thickness on a floured surface.
- Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares to create individual pizza rolls.
- Fill Rolls: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the center of each square.
- Seal Rolls: Fold the dough squares over the filling to form a pocket and crimp the edges tightly to seal in the ingredients.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Air Fry Rolls: Cook the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Do not overfill the rolls to avoid leaking during cooking.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on the size of your air fryer and the thickness of the dough.
- You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like cooked sausage or vegetables.
- Use an olive oil spray to achieve a crispy exterior without excess oil.
- Make sure to crimp the edges properly to keep the filling enclosed.
