Quick and easy homemade pizza rolls with a crispy outside and gooey, cheesy inside, ready in just 6 minutes using an air fryer. Perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir gently and let sit until frothy and bubbly (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
  4. Prepare the filling by mixing shredded mozzarella, pizza sauce, mini pepperoni slices, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 10×8 inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  6. Roll the dough jelly-roll style from one long edge, sealing the edges by pinching the dough together.
  7. Cut the rolled dough into 8 even pieces. Brush each piece with melted butter or olive oil.
  8. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place the pizza rolls in a single layer in the basket without touching. Air fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy, rotating basket halfway through if needed.
  9. Let the rolls cool for a minute or two before serving. Serve with extra pizza sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not skip the dough resting time for best texture. Brush rolls with butter or olive oil for a golden crust. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping. Rotate basket halfway through cooking if browning unevenly. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flours and cheeses accordingly. Rolls can be frozen uncooked and air fried from frozen with extra cook time.
