Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 16 ounce tubes crescent dough
  • ¾ cup pizza sauce
  • 8 slices mozzarella cut into thirds
  • 2 cups pepperoni slices
  • ½ cup parmesan grated

Instructions

Step One: Prepare the Dough

  • Start by opening your crescent roll dough package and unrolling the dough. Lightly flour your work surface to keep the dough from sticking, then place two crescent roll triangles on the floured surface. Pinch the seam together to create one large rectangle and use a pizza cutter to cut the rectangle in half lengthwise. Continue this process until all the dough has been cut.

Step Two: Add the Toppings

  • Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the top of each dough rectangle, making sure not to add too much sauce. After that, cut each slice of mozzarella cheese into thirds and place two pieces of cheese on top of each rectangle of dough. Finish by placing the pepperoni on top of the cheese slices, making sure half the peperoni slice is overhanging the edge of the dough.

Step Three: Roll the Dough

  • To turn your crescent roll dough into roses, start by bringing the bottom of the crescent roll up to meet the top half the dough. Then, roll the dough from left to right to form a circle. Place each pizza roll in a cupcake pan or silicone mold, making sure the pan fits inside your air fryer.

Step Four: Air Fry the Pizza Roses

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees for around three minutes to warm it up, then place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook the pizzas for 8 minutes. When the cook time is up, carefully remove the pizza roses from the basket and sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving.
