I'm excited to share my newest hit that's taking my bistro by storm: air fryer pizza rolls. These have become the go-to treat for my hurried customers wanting something tasty without feeling too guilty. With a quick no-yeast dough, loads of toppings, and just 10 minutes of cooking, they're done! The toughest part? Making enough to keep up with how popular they've become!
The wonder of air frying
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 with my quick yogurt dough, there's no waiting around for hours. My customers love that they can enjoy a tasty snack without too much guilt afterward.
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
- Your favorite toppings: Pepperoni, veggies, whatever you fancy
Step-by-step instructions
- Getting started
- I mix the flour and yogurt until I get a smooth dough. I just go by feel for the right texture.
- Rolling it out
- On my floured surface, I spread the dough into a rectangle, not too thin. I leave a small edge for sealing.
- Loading the goodies
- I spread sauce, sprinkle cheese, and add all my favorite toppings.
- The rolling trick
- I roll it up tightly like a Swiss roll and cut into 8-10 pieces using a damp knife.
- Air fryer magic
- Into the air fryer they go, brushed with milk or oil. 8-10 minutes at 200°C, turning them halfway through.
- Time to enjoy
- I serve these golden crispy treasures while they're still hot.
Chef's smart tips
I always make sure to roll out my dough evenly. Brushing with a bit of milk or oil before cooking makes a huge difference for that golden finish. And I never forget to flip them halfway through cooking for perfect browning all around.
Storing for later
My customers often take some home for later. I tell them they'll keep 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 crisp right up again.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can regular flour work?
- Nope, self-rising flour is needed as it already has leavening. If you’re out, mix 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder into regular flour.
- → What toppings can I use?
- Feel free to toss in pepperoni, diced veggies, olives, or herbs. Avoid soggy toppings that might make the dough too wet.
- → How to stop cheese from leaking?
- Keep some edges topping-free and seal your rolls tightly. Don’t overstuff with cheese. Shredded mozzarella works best.
- → Should the air fryer be preheated?
- Yes, preheat it for about 3 minutes at 200°C before putting the rolls in for the best result.
- → What’s the best way to reheat them?
- Air fryer is the go-to! Just 2 minutes at 200°C brings back the crispiness. Skip the microwave, it’ll make them soggy.
