A delicious, unique recipe with a taste that will captivate you: you must also try these “Pizza Rolls” in the air fryer. I named them this way because to make them, you just need to roll up sandwich bread topped with tomato sauce and cheese, then bread it and cook it in the air fryer. The taste indeed reminds of pizza, but in a rolled-up form!
The Pizza Rolls have an extremely crispy coating on the outside and a delicious, soft, and gooey filling. Finger-licking good! They are prepared in just a few minutes and are extremely easy to make. Moreover, you will need very few ingredients. You can also bake them in the oven by increasing the cooking time; all the instructions are below.

Ingredients
- 2 slices long sandwich bread
- 5.3 oz tomato puree
- 3.5 oz provola cheese
- 2 eggs
- as needed flour
- as needed breadcrumbs
- as needed salt
- as needed extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
Let’s prepare the tomato sauce: in a bowl, mix the tomato puree, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Meanwhile, also cut the provola (or other cheese) into thin slices.
Flatten the long slices of sandwich bread with a rolling pin. Spread the entire surface with the tomato sauce and place the slices of provola on top. Roll up the bread creating a roll.
On a plate, pour the flour, in another one beat the eggs, and in another bowl put the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt. Coat the Pizza Rolls first in flour, making it adhere well even on the edges, then dip them in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, being careful to seal all edges well. If necessary, you can recoat just the edges in egg and then in breadcrumbs again.
Transfer the Pizza Rolls to the air fryer basket, add a spray of extra virgin olive oil, and cook at 392°F for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven at 392°F for 20 minutes.
Once ready, they will be extremely crispy and gooey inside. Enjoy your meal!
Tips for you
✔ If you want, you can also top the Pizza Rolls with other ingredients: you can choose a different cheese or add some ingredients, but be careful when they are rolled up.
✔ For this recipe, it is necessary to cook the Pizza Rolls directly in the basket of the air fryer without pans or parchment paper: in this way, they cook thanks to the air passing 360 degrees from below to above, which allows for an ideal air frying. Pans or parchment paper in this case would be an impediment as they would block the circulating air inside the air fryer.
✔ The oil sprayer I used is available in supermarkets. I recommend one of these because their spray is really nebulizing and controlled, besides being really great. You can find some by clicking here. Alternatively, you can buy the spray bottle that you can fill yourself with the oil you prefer. I leave you the link to an excellent sprayer here.
✔ I recommend using the BBQ mesh to insert directly into the non-stick basket of your air fryer: the mesh protects the non-stick coating of the basket (which will remain like new) and allows the food to cook evenly, letting the air pass 360 degrees. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here.
✔ Alternatively, you can use the perforated parchment paper, allowing air to pass from below to above. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here: link.
✔ For this recipe, I used the air fryer COSORI 5.5 in the “red” color version (beautiful) which you can find on Amazon here: link
