Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Rolls
- 1 package Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 cup Pepperoni Slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- To taste Salt
Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce (or alternative like ranch dressing or garlic butter)
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Let the store-bought pizza dough sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick to achieve a crispy base once cooked.
- Cut and Fill: Cut the rolled dough into 3×3-inch squares. Place a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella, a few slices of pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning in the center of each square. Add salt to taste over the filling.
- Seal Rolls: Fold each square over the filling to form triangles or rectangles. Press and crimp the edges firmly to seal the filling inside and prevent leakage during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Cook: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the pizza rolls in a single layer inside the basket, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, gently shaking or flipping them halfway through for even browning.
- Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for a perfect snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding cooked sausage or bacon as a pepperoni substitute.
- Make sure to crimp edges well to avoid filling leakage during air frying.
- You can swap marinara sauce with ranch dressing or garlic butter for variety.
- Adjust seasoning and salt according to taste to balance flavors.
- The cooking time might vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; watch for golden brown edges as an indicator of doneness.
