Pizza Rolls Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni or chopped regular pepperoni
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: marinara or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to warm up while you prepare the pizza rolls.
- Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface. Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle, creating an even surface for spreading the fillings.
- Add the Filling: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the roll. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the sauce.
- Roll the Dough: Starting at the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape to keep the filling secure during cooking.
- Slice the Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices to create individual pizza rolls.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of each roll with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness during air frying.
- Arrange and Air Fry: Place the pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. If necessary, cook in batches. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let the pizza rolls cool slightly before serving. Offer with marinara or ranch dipping sauce as desired.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with cooked sausage, vegetables, or different kinds of cheese based on your preference.
- To prevent the pizza rolls from sticking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil before cooking.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat them in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes to regain crispiness.
- The recipe yields about 4 servings, with each serving containing approximately 3–4 pizza rolls.
