Tips for Perfect Pizza Rolls
To achieve the best results with your crispy air fryer pizza rolls, ensure that your dough is rolled out evenly. This will help them cook uniformly and avoid burnt edges. It’s also vital to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
If you're using a thicker dough, consider adjusting the cooking time to ensure the rolls are thoroughly cooked. Checking them a couple of minutes before the suggested time can help you avoid overcooking or undercooking.
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare with these addictive rolls!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can stay fresh for up to three days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispy texture, making them just as delightful as when they were freshly made.
For longer storage, consider freezing the unbaked rolls. Simply prepare and fill them, then freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy, air fry them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
