Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 package pizza dough (about 10x12 inch rectangle)

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 15–20 pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Cooking

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 10 by 12 inches in size. This creates the perfect base to layer your delicious fillings.
  2. Add the Fillings: Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving about an inch border on all sides. Scatter your mozzarella cheese evenly across the sauce then layer the pepperoni slices on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for that authentic pizza flavor.
  3. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one of the long edges, creating a roulade. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices—each slice becomes an individual pizza roll.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the pizza rolls in a single layer with some space between them. Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill: Avoid stuffing too much filling to prevent dough bursting during cooking.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: A preheated basket helps achieve a crispy crust quickly.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Place a piece of parchment at the bottom to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Even Spacing: Give each roll room so hot air circulates freely, ensuring crispiness on all sides.
  • Check Early: Start checking for doneness at 7 minutes to keep from overcooking, especially if your air fryer runs hot.
