Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too thick, add a little more yogurt; if too thin, add more flour.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out with a rolling pin into a 12-inch by 9-inch rectangle, about half an inch thick. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, adding any other desired pizza toppings. Carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll, then use a wet knife to slice it into 8 pieces.
  4. Step 4: Lightly grease your air fryer basket. Brush the outside of each pizza roll with milk or olive oil, then place them in the basket. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

  • Try adding pepperoni, cooked sausage, or vegetables inside the rolls for extra flavor.
  • Use marinara sauce instead of pizza sauce for a different tang.
  • Brush the rolls with garlic butter before air frying for a savory touch.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the rolls at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Storage

Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness, or in a microwave for a softer texture.

How to Serve

Each roll has a spiral shape with a light golden-brown dough forming the outer layer and inside layers showing a mix of melted orange and white cheese and bright red tomato sauce. The cheese looks gooey and slightly browned on top, while the dough appears soft with a smooth texture and some visible air bubbles. The white marbled texture is barely visible through the translucent parchment peeking from the tray edges. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?

You can, but you’ll need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every 1 3/4 cups of regular flour to mimic self-rising flour.

What toppings work best in these pizza rolls?

Classic toppings like pepperoni, cooked sausage, mushrooms, olives, and bell peppers all work well. Just make sure any vegetables are cooked or thinly sliced to avoid sogginess.
