Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
  • Pizza Sauce (to taste)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (to taste)
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese (to taste)
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Beef Pepperoni (diced, to taste)
  • Dried Italian Seasoning (to taste)
  • Garlic Powder (to taste)
  • Red Pepper Flakes (to taste)
  • Melted Butter or Olive Oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat on your counter. Unroll your tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough onto your prepared surface and press the seams together to form a solid rectangle.
  2. Sauce It Up: Evenly spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the entire surface of the dough rectangle.
  3. Layer the Cheese & Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Add any optional toppings like diced beef pepperoni or dried Italian seasoning.
  4. Fold and Cut: Fold the dough rectangle in half lengthwise and press down to seal the edges. Cut the folded dough into approximately 1-inch wide strips.
  5. Twist Them Up: Pick up each strip and gently twist it several times to form a spiral.
  6. Preheat & Arrange in Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and arrange the twisted dough strips in a single layer. Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil.
  7. Air Fry to Golden Perfection: Cook the twists at 350°F (175°C) for 6-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove the twists from the basket and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
