Meatball Pizza Rolls

Ingredients

• ½ pound pizza dough, at room temperature
• 1½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend
• 16 fully cooked frozen meatballs, thawed
• 1 cup pizza sauce, heated
• 1. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll one piece of dough to a 14 × 4-inch strip. Sprinkle ½ cup cheese over the dough, up to 1 inch from 1 long edge. Place 8 meatballs evenly down the long side of the cheese-topped dough, with about ½ inch in between. Brush the uncovered part of the dough with water. Cut the dough crosswise between the meatballs into strips. Starting at the meatball side, roll up dough and press seam to seal. Pinch 1 side of dough to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough half, meatballs, and ½ cup cheese.

Instructions

1. 1Divide the room-temperature dough in half. Roll one piece on a lightly floured surface into a 14 by 4-inch strip. Sprinkle half a cup of the Italian cheese blend over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along one long edge. Space eight thawed meatballs evenly down the cheese-covered side, leaving about half an inch between them. Brush the bare dough edge with water. Cut the dough crosswise between the meatballs to create individual strips. Roll each strip starting from the meatball side and pinch the seams to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, meatballs, and another half cup of cheese. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F and lightly oil the basket. Place eight rolls seam-side down in the basket, leaving space between them. Air-fry for 8 minutes until the dough turns golden brown.
2. 2Scatter a quarter cup of cheese over the browned rolls. Air-fry for 1 additional minute until the cheese melts completely. Carefully remove the rolls with a spatula. Repeat the cooking process with the second batch of rolls and the remaining cheese.
3. 3Serve the rolls immediately while warm, accompanied by the heated pizza sauce for dipping.
