Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast

Filing

  • ½ cup low sodium canned tomato sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces turkey pepperoni (chopped)
  • 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Make the dough:

  • The dough takes time to develop. Make the dough in the morning, and it'll be ready by dinnertime. Even if you start around lunchtime, your pizza rolls should be fine.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Fill a ½ cup measuring cup with lukewarm water. The water should feel neither hot nor cold to the touch. Add the ¼ teaspoon of yeast to the water and allow it to sit and dissolve for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the water/yeast mixture to the flour and stir it around until a dough comes together. Add a little extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the flour is fully incorporated (add more flour if the dough is too loose.) You're looking for a dough that's about the same consistency as your earlobe.
  • Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and set it out at room temperature until dinnertime.

Arrange the pizza rolls

  • Preheat the air fryer to 360 °F
  • Stir together the tomato sauce, garlic powder, basil and oregano.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangle on a well-floured surface. Try to roll the dough fairly thin, about ¼" thick.
  • Spread the tomato sauce mixture all over the dough rectangle.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese and pepperoni.
  • Roll the dough up lengthwise, as if you were rolling up cinnamon rolls.
  • Cut the roll crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
  • Arrange the 4 pizza rolls in the basket of the air fryer.
  • Cook at 360 °F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
