With this method, you are essentially making your own pizza rolls…to your own taste. This means you can get more creative with your ingredients and customise them to what you like. It may also mean more healthier ingredients depending on how you do it. Regardless, it obviously takes more time than the first method but it is definitely more satisfying.
With this method, I am going to use shop bought pizza dough. However, you can mix your easily enough…it really is simple to do and it works out really cheap to make your own too. I thoroughly recommend it.
Ingredients
For this demonstration, I am going to make a basic pizza roll in the air fryer using mozzarella and sausage meat. The sausage meat has already been cooked so when they are cooking in the air fryer, essentially you are heating it up. I’ve made these many times…and they are delicious.
Method
This is as straight forward as it gets. The first step is to roll out your pizza dough. You can do this by hand…but it is much simpler to use a rolling pin. It leaves your dough with a consistent thickness.
Once, it is in a rectangular shape, I simply then spoon on the deliciously thick tomato sauce, sprinkle on the sausage meat…finally adding the cheese. I also like to add some oregano at this point for extra flavor.
The next step is to fold over one of the sides, and then start rolling it until you reach the end. Then simply use a sharp knife to slice the rolls. Don’t make them to thick as you want them to cook evenly.
