Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni (or chopped regular pepperoni)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Unfurl the pizza dough onto a clean surface and transform it into precise, uniform squares measuring approximately 3×3 inches.
- Delicately paint each square with a gossamer layer of zesty pizza sauce, ensuring complete coverage without oversaturating.
- Lavishly distribute generous pinches of shredded mozzarella across the sauced surface, creating a molten cheese foundation.
- Strategically nestle miniature pepperoni slices atop the cheese, arranging them for maximum flavor distribution.
- Carefully roll each square into compact cylinders, meticulously sealing the edges by pinching and pressing to prevent ingredient leakage.
- Infuse the exterior with a luxurious brushing of melted butter, then sprinkle a harmonious blend of garlic powder and Italian seasoning for aromatic enhancement.
- Position the rolled parcels seam-side downward within the air fryer basket, ensuring slight separation between each roll for optimal circulation.
- Activate the air fryer and program to 375°F, allowing the rolls to transform into golden, crisp delicacies over 6-8 minutes.
- Extract the sizzling rolls and permit brief cooling to prevent potential mouth burns, then serve alongside a ramekin of warm marinara for dipping pleasure.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even cooking and better flavor melding.
- Seal pizza rolls tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during air frying.
- Experiment with different fillings like ricotta, spinach, or alternative meats for variety.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional pizza dough with cauliflower or gluten-free pizza crust.
