Ingredients

For the Pizza Rolls

1 package of pizza dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pepperoni slices
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Feel free to substitute your favorite toppings!

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Assemble the Rolls

Cut the dough into squares. Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and a teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each square. Fold the dough over to create a roll and seal the edges tightly.

Season and Cook

Brush the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place the rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

These pizza rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.

Tips for the Best Pizza Rolls

To achieve the perfect texture, ensure that your pizza dough is rolled out evenly. This will help the rolls cook uniformly, resulting in a crispy exterior and a perfectly melted interior. A 1/4-inch thickness is ideal for achieving that balance between crispiness and chewiness, so take your time during this step.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different cheeses beyond mozzarella. Cheddar, provolone, or even a blend can add unique flavors to your rolls. Just make sure to adjust the amount based on how gooey you like your filling.

Serving Suggestions

These pizza rolls are fantastic on their own, but serving them with a side of marinara or ranch dressing can elevate the experience. The tangy flavors of marinara complement the cheesy goodness beautifully, while ranch adds a creamy contrast that many enjoy. You can even mix up the dipping sauces to cater to different tastes.

For a complete meal, consider pairing the pizza rolls with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables. This adds balance to your snack and can make for a satisfying lunch or dinner option that isn't just empty calories.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (though they’re unlikely to last long!), store your pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheating them in the air fryer is the best way to preserve their crispy texture. Simply pop them back in at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes, and they'll be almost as good as fresh.

For longer storage, consider freezing the pizza rolls before cooking them. Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time for perfect results.
