Instructions

  • Prepare the Tomato Sauce as described and let it cool down completely. The sauce will thicken slightly when cooling down so it is not too runny. For best result, prepare the Pizza Sauce one day ahead and store it in the fridge overnight.
  • Prepare the Pizza Dough as described up until Step 9. You should have 2 evenly sized and well rested pizza dough balls when you start making the pizza rolls.
  • Take one of the dough balls and flatten the dough on a lightly floured surface until about 3 mm thick. Try to reach a somewhat even rectangular shape.
  • Spread half of the tomato sauce on top of the dough without going all the way to the corners. Next, sprinkle some grated cheese on top.
  • At this step, you can also add other toppings, such as mini pepperoni. However, do not go too heavy on the toppings.
  • Starting from the longer end, gently start rolling the dough up. Do not push down hard, to avoid the sauce squeezing out towards the sides.
  • Close the seams up tightly.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the dough roll into about 1 inch / 2.5 cm thick slices and gently place them on the tray of your air fryer, or on a parchment-lined baking tray if you use a conventional oven.
  • Sprinkle some additional grated mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated air fryer at 350℉ for 12 minutes or until the corners of the dough are golden brown and the cheese is melted. If you use a conventional oven with bottom heat, back in the preheated oven at 400℉ for 12 minutes. Remove the baked Pizza Buns from your air fryer or oven and let them cool down slightly.
  • Repeat the whole process for the second pizza dough ball or store the second half of the sauce and pizza dough in the fridge if you would like to bake them at a later point.
