Ingredients Needed

• Pizza Dough: Soft, stretchy base perfect for homemade pizza creations.
• Pizza Sauce: Savory tomato sauce with herbs for rich flavor.

• Sliced Pepperoni: Spicy, flavorful slices that crisp when baked.
• Garlic & Onion Powder: Adds bold, aromatic, savory seasoning to pizza.

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Pepperoni Stromboli

Step 1: Lay out the pizza dough on a clean surface or parchment paper.

Step 2: Spread 2–3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the center of the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 3: Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese.

My Tip: Rolling the dough on parchment paper makes it easy to roll later and prevents sticking to the counter.

Step 4: Carefully roll the dough into a log and tuck the ends underneath to seal, ensuring the dough stays closed.

Step 5: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down in the basket. Spray the top of the stromboli with cooking spray and sprinkle evenly with onion and garlic powder. Set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F and set took cook time for 12–15 minutes. Flip the stromboli halfway through cooking, if needed, to ensure even browning on all sides.

• Don’t overfill: Keep fillings moderate to prevent the stromboli from bursting.

• Egg wash matters: Brushing with egg wash gives a golden, shiny crust.
• Even cooking: Flip halfway through if your air fryer cooks unevenly.
• Customize fillings: Add extra cheese, veggies, or spices for extra flavor.
