How to make pizza sausage rolls in the air fryer
- Mix all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl using a spoon or whisk. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
- Unroll the puff pastry onto a large cutting board.
- Cut the pastry in half.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of sauce over each half, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Arrange 3-4 sausages (depending on size) evenly spaced on one half of the pastry. Leave enough room between them so the dough can fully wrap around each sausage.
- Slice the dough into strips the width of each sausage.
- Wrap the pastry tightly around each sausage, sealing the edges well.
- Cut into equal bite-size pieces.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry and sausages.
- Transfer the rolls to the air fryer tray, leaving space between them so they can puff up.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
- Cook for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. If possible, turn them halfway through for even browning.
- Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
