Preparation for Best Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
- In order to prevent food from sticking to the bottom of the air fryer, spray it with non-stick spray and then lay a piece of parchment paper down. Then, preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After lightly flouring the work surface, lay out the pizza dough into a rectangle measuring 8 inches by 12 inches.
- On top of the dough, apply a half cup’s worth of pizza sauce in an even layer. Be careful to leave a space of at least one inch around the roll’s edges so that it may be sealed.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, parmesan, and basil over top.
- Begin at one end of the rectangle and roll the dough as tightly as you would cinnamon buns, working your way across the rectangle. The closer they are, the better.
- Turn the roll over so that the side with the seam is facing down on the tabletop, and cut 10–12 separate rolls measuring 1 inch in diameter. Pinch the bottom of each roll with your fingers to close the roll and keep the sauce and cheese inside.
- Place the rolls in an even layer in the air fryer once it has been preheated; the rolls should not touch one another. Keep a gap of approximately a half an inch between each one. If your air fryer is too tiny, you may need to split the cooking process into two batches.
- Fry in an air fryer at a temperature of 320 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dough is completely cooked.
- Check the time at the 11-minute point, and add additional minutes if necessary.
- Remove from the basket, then wait a few minutes for the food to cool down before serving it with more pizza sauce, marinara sauce, or pesto.
