# How To Make:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.

03 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides.
04 - Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni or diced vegetables, and dried Italian herbs evenly over the sauce.
05 - Starting from a long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
06 - Cut the rolled log into 24 even pieces using a sharp knife.
07 - Brush the cut sides of each roll lightly with beaten egg to help seal them.
08 - Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil.
09 - Place pizza rolls in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each. Cook in batches if necessary.
10 - Brush the tops of the rolls with additional beaten egg for a golden finish.

12 - Allow rolls to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together faster than ordering delivery, and your kitchen doesn't smell like grease afterward.
  • You can stuff them with literally anything—pepperoni, vegetables, different cheeses—so everyone gets exactly what they want.
  • One batch feeds a crowd or becomes your personal snack stash; they're perfect for meal prep or last-minute entertaining.
02 -
  • Don't overfill—I learned this the hard way when cheese leaked everywhere; stick to the measurements and your rolls will hold together perfectly.
  • Flipping halfway through is non-negotiable; it's what separates crispy rolls from pale ones on the bottom.
  • If your air fryer runs hot, start checking at 7 minutes—better to undercook slightly and cook longer than end up with burnt edges.
03 -
  • Pinch your seam really firmly—any loose edges will puff open and leak filling, but a tight seal keeps everything contained and crispy.
  • Room temperature sauce spreads more smoothly than cold sauce straight from the jar; let it sit out for a few minutes if you have time.
