1. Classic Totino’s Pizza Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup warm water
• For the Filling:
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pepperoni slices, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and olive oil. Gradually mix in warm water until the mixture forms a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles about 3 inches in diameter.
3. Prepare the Filling: In each dough circle, add about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a few pepperoni pieces (if using). Dust with garlic powder and oregano for extra flavor.
4. Seal the Pizza Rolls: Fold each dough circle over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly and use a fork to crimp and seal them completely.
5. Cook the Rolls:
   • Frying Method: Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each roll for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
   • Baking Method: For a healthier option, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
6. Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

2. Air Fryer Totino’s Pizza Rolls

The air fryer is the perfect tool for creating that signature crispy exterior without the added calories from deep frying. This method makes the rolls healthier while maintaining all the flavor.

Ingredients:

• Wonton wrappers (or homemade dough)
• Pizza sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Diced pepperoni
• Olive oil spray

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wrappers: Using wonton wrappers is a convenient shortcut, or you can use your homemade dough. Cut the dough into small squares or circles.
2. Add the Filling: Place 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce and cheese in the center of each wrapper. Add pepperoni or any other topping you prefer.
3. Fold and Seal: Fold the wrapper and use a dab of water to seal the edges securely. You can use a fork to crimp the edges.
4. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Spray the pizza rolls lightly with olive oil and place them in the fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Serve: Serve with marinara or garlic butter dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
