Homemade pizza rolls in the air fryer
I may be an adult, but pizza rolls hold a very special place in my heart. Instead of relying on the store-bought kind, I started making my own from scratch… and in the air fryer. Yes, you read that correctly! It’s faster than the oven, and contrary to popular belief, they’re SO easy to make. Just ask my family… they request them weekly.
These pizza rolls are crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and are easy to customize. I use a simple, 2-ingredient pizza dough (just Greek yogurt and flour!), but any pizza dough will work. They cook in just ten minutes and are a healthier snack for everyone.
Key Ingredients
Find the printable recipe with instructions below.
- Pizza dough. You have the option of either making my Greek yogurt dough or 2-ingredient pizza dough. Both use a combination of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Of course, any pizza dough is fine. Just make sure it’s enough for a 12-inch pizza.
- Pizza sauce. I love using homemade marinara sauce (either my pomodoro sauce or sugo), but store-bought ones will work just as well.
- Cheese. Shredded. I use a mix of mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. If you can, I highly recommend shredding the cheese by hand because it melts SO much better.
- Pizza toppings. I usually keep things simple with some fresh basil, but feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, chicken, olives, etc.
- Milk or olive oil. Optional, but I like to brush the top of the pizza rolls for a chewy and firm crust.
How to make pizza rolls in the air fryer
Step 1- Roll. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured kitchen surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape.
Step 2- Assemble. Spread the pizza sauce all over the dough, reserving around half an inch around the perimeter.
Step 3- Add toppings and roll. Add any toppings of choice, followed by the shredded cheese. Roll up the dough, then slice into 8-10 pieces.
Step 4- Air fry. Brush the exterior of the rolls with milk, place them in the air fryer basket, and air fry for 8 minutes or until golden.
Step 5- Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer.
★★★★★ REVIEW

Arman’s recipe tips
- If your dough is too thin (wet), add more flour to compensate. This can sometimes happen depending on the yogurt you choose.
- Roll out to a 12-inch rectangle. Through recipe testing, I found this to be the ideal size to get eight large pizza rolls.
- Air fry in batches. The pizza rolls should always be in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, air fry a few at a time.
- Avoid going heavy-handed with the toppings, as they will seep out during air frying, leaving the base slightly undercooked. I recommend leaving about half an inch around the perimeter of the dough.
- Air fry on parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the dough from sticking to the air fryer basket.

Frozen pizza rolls typically take around 9 minutes in the air fryer at 400°F. If they still aren’t golden brown, continue air frying in one-minute increments until done.
