Description
These bite-sized pizza rolls emerge from the air fryer with a golden, crackling crust and gooey mozzarella inside, perfect for dipping in tangy sauce and sharing around the table.
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough and cut into 12 equal squares.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each square.
- Top each with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, two slices of pepperoni, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Brush the edges of each dough square with beaten egg, then roll up tightly, sealing the edges to enclose the filling.
- Lightly brush each roll with olive oil to promote browning.
- Place the rolls seam-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving with extra pizza sauce.
Notes
- You can swap the pizza dough for wonton wrappers for smaller, bite-sized rolls.
- Cooking times may vary by air fryer model; adjust as needed for desired crispiness.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
