I've gotta share my newest hit that's taking my little eatery by storm - pizza rolls made in the air fryer. They've become the go-to treat for my hurried customers wanting something tasty without feeling too guilty afterward. Just whip up a quick no-yeast dough, add plenty of toppings, and they're done in about 10 minutes. The real challenge? Making enough to keep everyone happy!
Air fryer wonder
I've always been on the hunt for lighter options for my menu. The air fryer changed everything! You get that amazing crunch without deep frying. And my quick yogurt dough means no long waiting times. My customers love being able to enjoy a tasty snack without too much guilt.
What goes in my rolls
- Self-rising flour: 1 3/4 cups of my go-to brand
- Greek yogurt: 1 cup, nice and thick
- Pizza sauce: 1/2 cup of my homemade mix
- Mozzarella: 1 cup freshly grated
- Mix-ins you love: Pepperoni, veggies, whatever you fancy
Step by step guide
- Getting started
- I mix the flour and yogurt until I get a smooth dough. I just go by feel to get the right texture.
- Rolling it out
- On my floured surface, I shape it into a rectangle, not too thin. I leave a small edge for sealing it up.
- Loading the goodness
- I spread the sauce, sprinkle cheese all over, and top with my favorite additions.
- The roll-up
- I roll it tight like a Swiss roll and cut into 8-10 pieces using a wet knife.
- Cooking time
- Into the air fryer they go, brushed with a bit of milk or oil. 8-10 minutes at 200°C, flipping halfway through.
- Time to enjoy
- I serve these golden crispy treasures while they're still hot.
Insider tricks
I always make sure to roll my dough to an even thickness. A quick brush with milk or oil before cooking makes a huge difference in getting that lovely golden color. And I never forget to flip them halfway through cooking for perfect browning all around.
Storing for later
My customers love taking some home for later. I tell them they'll stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days. For the planners, they can freeze them for up to 6 months. Just pop them back in the air fryer for 2 minutes and they'll be crispy again.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I use regular flour?
- No, self-rising flour is important since it already has leavening agents. If unavailable, mix 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder with plain flour.
- → What fillings can I add?
- Try pepperoni, chopped veggies, olives, or fresh herbs, but avoid too much moisture to maintain the dough’s texture.
- → How to stop cheese from leaking?
- Leave an edge without filling and seal the rolls tightly. Don’t overload with cheese and opt for shredded mozzarella, as it melts less.
- → Should I preheat the air fryer?
- Yes, preheat it at 200°C for 3 minutes beforehand to guarantee great results.
- → What’s the best way to reheat?
- Use the air fryer for best results. Reheat them at 200°C for 2 minutes to make them crispy again. Avoid microwaves as they soften the rolls.
