    💭 Common questions

    • How do you make pizza dough from scratch? Making pizza dough from scratch is fairly easy. All you need is a few pantry-friendly ingredients and a little bit of time. We have a pizza dough recipe for you!
    • What store-bought pizza dough can I use? Any (vegan) store-bought variety should work with this recipe!
    • How long do you cook pizza rolls in an air fryer? Cook your prepared pizza rolls for 10 to 14 minutes at 200C / 390F. I’d recommend checking on them after 10 and continuing baking if they still look a bit undone. 
    • Can I bake these in the oven? Yes, absolutely! To bake your pizza rolls in the oven preheat your oven to 225C / 435F and bake for 10 to 14 minutes.  
    • How long do you air fry frozen pizza rolls? If you are using frozen pizza rolls this depends a bit on what kind you bought. Toni from Food Sharing Vegan has instructions on how to air fry the smaller squared pizza roll bites. If you are using frozen pizza pinwheels I‘d recommend air frying them at 200C / 390F for 10-14 minutes. But check the package instructions first, a lot of brands have instructions for air frying nowadays.

    Cuisine Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Vegan
    Servings 10 rolls

    Ingredients
      

    • 400 g Pizza dough (homemade, but store-bought works too) (14.1oz)
    • ½ cup Marinara sauce (110g)
    • Vegan deli slices or pepperoni (optional)
    • 1 ½ cup Vegan mozzarella cheese shreds (170g)
    • 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil more if needed

    Instructions
     

    • Transfer the prepared pizza dough onto a floured surface. If your dough is coming straight out of the fridge let it come to room temperature beforehand. 
    • Using your hands, stretch the dough into a rectangular shape. This works best with the steering wheel and fingertip stretch. The rectangle should end up being around 1cm (½ inch) thick. 
    • With a spoon spread the marinara sauce onto the dough rectangle, leaving room around the edges of the dough. Add the vegan deli slices, then sprinkle with vegan cheese. Roll it up like cinnamon rolls., Use a wet, sharp knife to slice the rolls into 10 portions.
    • Preheat your air fryer to 200°C / 390F. Lightly grease your air fryer basket. Rub olive oil at the bottom of each pizza roll, and brush with more oil on top, to prevent them from sticking to the basket. Then place the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they don't touch each other. Depending on the size of your air fryer you can fry all 10 or only 5 at a time. Make sure not to overcrowd your air fryer.
    • Air fry in the preheated air fryer for 12 minutes, turning halfway through.
    • Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy!
