Directions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and cut it into squares, roughly 3 inches by 3 inches.
- In the center of each square, place a small dollop of mozzarella cheese, a spoonful of pizza sauce, and a few pieces of pepperoni.
- Fold the dough over to create a pocket, ensuring all the fillings are enclosed, and pinch the edges together to seal tightly.
- Lightly spray the tops of the rolls with olive oil for an extra crispy finish.
- Arrange the rolls in the air fryer basket, ensuring there’s space between each one to allow for even cooking.
- Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, checking halfway through for even browning.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping!
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can easily swap mozzarella cheese for cheddar or even a dairy-free cheese alternative. For the sauce, feel free to use a pesto or garlic sauce for a different flavor.
- Optional Variations: Try adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms, or experiment with different meats like sausage or bacon.
- Storage & Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply air fry them again for 3-4 minutes at 375°F until heated through.
