Tips for Perfect Pizza Rolls

  • Don’t overfill – Too much sauce or cheese can cause leaks.
  • Space them out – Crowding leads to uneven cooking.
  • Check early – Air fryers vary; peek at 6 minutes.
  • Keep dough cold – Easier to handle straight from the fridge.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the rolls, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Air fry from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes.

Can I use an oven instead?

Absolutely. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to regain crispiness.
