I consider myself a pizza roll aficionado…or just pizzas in general. After trying every brand under the sun, I’ve noticed gluten-free pizza rolls just don’t cut it. They either lack the texture, or the filing just isn’t right. 

So, I started making my own, and they’ve been a resounding success. The dough is fluffy and chewy, and the cheesy center is stuffed with your favorite pizza toppings.

Why I love this recipe

  • Perfect texture and flavor. Like my air fryer pizza rolls, the crust is fluffy and chewy, and the cheesy, saucy center explodes with flavor in every bite.  
  • Fun to customize. I think we can all agree the best part about pizza is getting to customize it with our favorite toppings. Well, these pizza rolls are no different. 
  • Ready in minutes. Once you make the dough, the rest of this recipe moves quickly. You’ll have these pizza rolls ready and on the table in 20 minutes or less. 
  • Easy to make ahead. Short on time? Make the pizza rolls ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. 

Key ingredients

  • Gluten-free pizza dough. If you have a gluten-free pizza dough recipe, go ahead and use it. I’m using my 2-ingredient pizza dough with a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum. 
  • Tomato sauce. I kept it simple and made Sugo sauce, though you could use Pomodoro sauce or any pizza sauce you prefer. 
  • Pizza toppings. I stuck with mushrooms, peppers, and uncured pepperoni, but any toppings work. Just make sure to use no more than 1 cup; otherwise, the filling will leak out. 
  • Shredded cheese. I used mozzarella cheese. 
  • Herbs. I used Italian seasoning and fresh basil. 
  • Milk or egg. Optional, but I like to brush the rolls with milk or egg wash to give the crust a golden brown color.
  • Sea salt. To taste.

Step 3- Shape. Carefully roll the dough into a long, log-shaped roll. Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls into even-sized rectangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk if desired.

Step 4- Bake the pizza rolls until golden brown, then serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs. 

Arman’s recipe tips

  • Use plenty of flour to roll out the dough. My Greek yogurt dough can get pretty sticky, so add plenty of flour to the dough and your rolling pin before starting. 
  • Use dental floss to slice. I know this sounds a little odd, but I find using dental floss to cut the dough is seamless and clean.
  • Adjust the baking time. In my oven, these take about 18-20 minutes to bake. If yours aren’t golden brown after that time, cook in 2-minute increments until they are.

  • Pick up two corners of the longest side of the dough. Gently roll it up until it is completely rolled up. Using a sharp knife, slice 12-16 pieces. Place the pieces of pizza roll onto the lined pan. If desired, brush the tops and sides with milk, to produce a golden top and exterior.

Notes

TO STORE: Store the pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. 
TO FREEZE: Let the rolls cool completely, then freeze them in a freezer bag for up to 6 months. 
TO REHEAT: Bake the pizza rolls at 325F for 8-10 minutes or in an air fryer at 350F for 5-6 minutes.
Variations
Make them vegan: Use coconut yogurt and dairy-free cheese. 
Hawaiian. Add pineapple chunks and diced ham. 
Pepperoni. Layer thinly sliced pepperoni pieces and double the cheese.
Meat lovers. Use pepperoni, ham, bacon, and shredded chicken as the filling, and consider using barbecue sauce instead of marinara sauce. 
Cheese lovers. Double the cheese and use a mixture of mozzarella, parmesan, and cheddar.
