Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Pizza dough (enough to cut into small rectangles)
- Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- Marinara sauce
- Pepperoni or other preferred pizza toppings
- Olive oil spray
- Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Slice mozzarella cheese and prepare your selected toppings. Have marinara sauce ready for assembly.
- Assemble the Rolls: Cut dough into approximately 3 by 4 inch rectangles. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on each piece. Add a couple slices of mozzarella cheese and chosen toppings, avoiding overfilling to prevent leakage.
- Seal the Rolls: Fold each rectangle over the filling like a pocket. Press edges firmly with a fork to seal and keep filling inside during cooking.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for even cooking and a perfect crust.
- Cook Until Golden and Crispy: Lightly spray the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning on top. Place rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring space for air circulation. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove carefully as filling will be hot and bubbling. Let cool for a couple of minutes, then serve immediately for best taste.
