Whether you're hosting a game night, a birthday party, or simply enjoying a cozy movie evening at home, these pizza rolls fit right in. Their delightful crunch and savory filling make them an irresistible treat that both kids and adults will love.

Whether you prefer classic pepperoni, a mix of veggies, or even a combination of different cheeses, the possibilities are endless.

Quick and Convenient Cooking

One of the biggest advantages of using an air fryer is the speed and convenience it offers. In just 25 minutes, you can transform simple ingredients into a delicious snack without the mess of deep frying. The air fryer circulates hot air to achieve that desirable crispy texture while using significantly less oil, making these pizza rolls a healthier option.

Additionally, the air fryer allows for even cooking, ensuring that each roll is perfectly golden brown. This technology not only reduces cooking time but also enhances the flavor, giving you that freshly baked taste with minimal effort.

Dipping Sauces to Elevate Your Rolls

No pizza roll experience is complete without a delicious dipping sauce! While these rolls are packed with flavor on their own, a side of pizza sauce can take them to the next level. The tangy and savory notes of pizza sauce complement the cheesy filling beautifully, making each bite even more enjoyable.

If you're feeling adventurous, consider trying other dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or even a spicy aioli. These options add an exciting twist to the classic pairing and allow you to cater to different taste preferences. Experiment with various sauces to find your favorite combination!

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

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface.

Assemble the Rolls

Cut the dough into squares, about 3 inches each. Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, and a dollop of pizza sauce in the center of each square. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

Roll and Seal

Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal the edges tightly.

Air Fry the Rolls

Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Remove the rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips for Perfect Pizza Rolls

To achieve the best results, make sure to roll out your pizza dough evenly. Uneven dough can lead to inconsistent cooking and might result in some rolls being undercooked while others are overdone. Take your time during the rolling process for uniformity.

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking. This allows hot air to circulate freely around each roll, ensuring they cook evenly and develop that crispy exterior. If you have a large batch, cook them in batches for the best results.

Storage and Reheating

If you have any leftover pizza rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness.

For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked rolls. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to cook them, there's no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
