Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Rolls
- 1 package Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 cup Pepperoni Slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Salt to taste
For Serving
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce (or ranch dressing/garlic butter as alternatives)
- Olive oil spray for air fryer basket
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Allow the store-bought pizza dough to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes so it softens. Then, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick to create a crispy base for the pizza rolls.
- Cut and Fill: Cut the rolled dough into 3×3-inch squares. Place a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few slices of pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning in the center of each square.
- Seal Rolls: Fold each dough square over the filling into a triangle or rectangle shape. Press and crimp the edges firmly to ensure the filling is sealed inside to prevent leaking during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes to reach the ideal cooking temperature.
- Cook: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the prepared pizza rolls in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly after cooking. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for the perfect snack experience.
Notes
- Use shredded mozzarella instead of block cheese for even melting.
- Ensure the dough squares are well sealed to avoid filling leakage.
- Feel free to substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or bacon for a different flavor.
- Alternative dipping sauces like ranch dressing or garlic butter work well.
- Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through cooking promotes crispy, evenly cooked rolls.
