Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough for 12 rolls

For the Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt

For Cooking and Serving

  • Olive oil (for spraying)
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including pizza dough, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften. If homemade, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  3. Cut Dough into Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled dough into 3×3 inch squares to create individual bases for the rolls.
  4. Add Filling: Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella, a few slices of pepperoni, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the center of each dough square.
  5. Seal the Rolls: Fold each square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle and crimp the edges with a fork or fingers to seal completely, ensuring cheese doesn’t leak out during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes for even cooking.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and then place the sealed pizza rolls in a single layer inside, avoiding overcrowding.
  8. Cook the Rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes. At the halfway mark (around 4-5 minutes), gently shake or flip the rolls to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
  9. Cool and Serve: Once golden and crisp, remove the rolls and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute pepperoni with other fillings like cooked sausage, veggies, or even vegan cheese for variation.
  • If you prefer softer rolls, reduce the air frying time by 1-2 minutes.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the rolls lightly with olive oil before cooking instead of spraying.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add garlic powder or crushed red pepper for more flavor.
