Instructions

1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, salt, olive oil, and marinara sauce.
2. Prepare Dough: Let store-bought dough come to room temperature for about 20 minutes or roll out homemade dough into a flat surface.

6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and arrange the rolls in a single layer without overcrowding.

Notes

• Make sure the edges of the dough are well sealed to prevent cheese from leaking out during cooking.
• Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation for even cooking.
• You can customize fillings with other ingredients like cooked sausage, vegetables or different cheeses.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best crispness.
