Homemade Pizza Rolls (Air Fryer)
These quick air fryer pizza rolls use a simple two-ingredient yogurt dough for a tender inside and crispy golden exterior. Filled with mozzarella and pizza sauce, they cook in about 8 minutes and are easy to customize. Budget-friendly and perfect for meal prep or snacks.
Equipment
- Air Fryer (basket style)
- Rolling Pin
- Pizza Cutter
- Parchment rounds
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup prepared pizza sauce jarred marinara works
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl until a dough forms; knead 2–3 minutes until smooth.
- Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cut into 16 equal squares (about 2x2 inches) using a pizza cutter.
- Place about 1 teaspoon pizza sauce in the center of each square; avoid overfilling.
- Add about 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.
- Fold all four corners toward the center and pinch edges tightly to seal completely.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment rounds and arrange rolls in a single layer with space between pieces.
- Air fry at 380°F for 8 minutes, shaking the basket gently at the 4-minute mark to promote even browning.
- Cook until edges are golden brown and cheese inside is melted and bubbling; add 1–2 minutes if needed.
Notes
- For best crisping, preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes and cook in a single layer; do not stack.
- Seal edges tightly and avoid overfilling to prevent bursting and leaking cheese.
- Variations: add mini pepperoni and red pepper flakes (spicy), finely diced peppers/onion/sausage (supreme), or scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheddar (breakfast).
- Reheating: 350°F for 4 minutes from fridge or 6 minutes from frozen; add a light oil spray to restore crunch.
- Storage: 2 hours at room temp, 3 days refrigerated (single layer), up to 2 months frozen (wrap individually, then bag).
- Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic butter for dipping; pair with salad or veggie sticks.
- If using frozen store-bought pizza rolls, cook at 380°F for about 10 minutes, shaking halfway.
