Air Fryer Cheesy Pepperoni Rolls (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 package refrigerated pizza dough (approximately 340 g)
→ Filling
02 -
28 g shredded mozzarella cheese
03 -
30 g sliced pepperoni
→ Finishing
04 -
15 ml olive oil
05 -
60 ml pizza sauce (for dipping)
→ Optional Seasonings
06 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
07 -
1/2 tsp garlic powder
08 -
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Set the air fryer to 190°C and allow it to preheat while preparing the pizza rolls.
02 -
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 6-7 mm thick.
03 -
Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into 7.5 x 7.5 cm squares.
04 -
Place one slice of pepperoni and a small pinch of shredded mozzarella in the center of each dough square, taking care not to overfill.
05 -
Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and firmly pinch the edges together to prevent leakage; optionally crimp with a fork for a decorative seal.
06 -
Lightly brush the top of each roll with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if desired.
07 -
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place pizza rolls in a single layer with space between each to ensure even cooking.
08 -
Air fry at 190°C for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until rolls are golden brown and crispy.
09 -
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Allow refrigerated dough to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before rolling to improve flexibility.
02 -
Do not overfill rolls; too much cheese or pepperoni may cause leakage during cooking.
03 -
Space rolls evenly in the air fryer basket for consistent crispiness.
