Description

These Air Fryer Pepperoni Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer featuring soft pizza dough rolled with melty mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer, they deliver a crispy outside with a gooey, flavorful inside. Perfect for parties, game days, or a quick snack, these rolls come together quickly and pair wonderfully with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade pizza dough)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
  • Marinara sauce or pizza sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface using a rolling pin. Flatten it into a rectangle or large square approximately ¼-inch thick to create an even base for rolling.
  2. Assemble the rolls: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the flattened dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent cheese from spilling out during cooking.
  3. Add pepperoni: Distribute the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese layer, ensuring every roll will have a good amount of pepperoni in each bite.
  4. Optional seasoning: For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano evenly over the pepperoni and cheese layers.
  5. Roll the dough: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log or cylinder shape, making sure to keep the filling inside.
  6. Slice into pieces: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick slices to create individual pepperoni rolls.
  7. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  8. Prepare basket: Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  9. Arrange rolls for cooking: Place the pepperoni rolls in the air fryer basket with some space between each piece. Cook in batches if needed depending on the size of your air fryer.
  10. Air fry the rolls: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  11. Serve: Remove the pepperoni rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute refrigerated pizza dough with homemade dough for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on the model and size of your air fryer for best results.
  • Feel free to add other toppings such as chopped bell peppers or sliced olives inside the rolls for variety.
  • Brush with olive oil before air frying to help achieve a crispy golden crust.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls to avoid squishing or deforming their shape.
  • These rolls are best served fresh and warm for maximum flavor and texture.
