How To Serve Air Fryer Muffuletta Pizza Rolls
These pizza rolls are perfect for gameday and they also make a great lunch served with a side salad. I also love them for a Mardi Gras party.
Ingredient Notes
- Olive Salad– you can use either a homemade olive salad or a store-bought olive salad.
- Pizza Dough– It’s easiest to use the refrigerated pizza dough that comes in a can like Pillsbury Pizza Dough. All you have to do is unroll it. Or you can use a ball of pizza dough and roll it into a rectangle.
- Deli Meats– I use ham, salami, and mortadella. You can leave one out and just use more of the other two.
- Cheese– This recipe calls for pepper jack cheese, but you could use Provolone or Mozzarella instead.

Tips
Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may need to cook in batches.
Air fryer cooking times may vary so check early.
Be sure to spray the air fryer basket well with oil or use a parchment paper liner.
Crescent dough can be sued instead of pizza dough.

Best eaten right away but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer.
