Air Fryer Pizza Pinwheels are a fun, quick and easy snack that's great for kids and adults alike.  These pinwheels are made with my favourite two ingredient dough (Greek yoghurt and self-raising flour), which means they're ready in no time and there's no yeast or proofing required!

Feel free to play around with the filling for these pizza pinwheels.  I don't think I've ever made them the same way twice.  Choose ham, bacon or pepperoni as the base, and add your favourite pizza toppings.

Here's what you'll need to make these pizza scrolls at home (full measurements listed in the printable recipe card below)...

INSTRUCTIONS

Line your air fryer basket or trays with baking paper.

Place Greek yoghurt in a mixing bowl and give it a stir. Add in 1 cup of flour and stir to combine. Gradually add in more flour until the dough starts to form into a ball.

Tip the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead with your hands for a minute or two. If the dough is still too sticky, add some more flour and continue to knead. The dough is ready when it is able to hold it’s shape and is not sticking to your hands or the surface.

Roll the dough into a rectangle shape, spread tomato paste on top then sprinkle over the rest of the ingredients.

Roll the dough up tight, then cut into 8 equal pieces.  Carefully place the pinwheels into the paper-lined air fryer basket or trays, keeping a bit of space between each one to allow some room for rising.

Sprinkle a little cheese on top of each pinwheel, then cook in the air fryer on 180C / 350F for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden and cooked through.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

  • You can substitute self-raising flour with all purpose / plain flour and baking powder.  The conversion rate is 1 cup of flour to 2 teaspoons of baking power.
  • Be sure to check out my two ingredient dough guide for all the tips and tricks for getting the dough right!
  • These pizza scrolls are fully customisable so feel free to mix and match with your own favourite pizza ingredients, or even try a BBQ sauce instead of tomato paste.
  • If you have a small air fryer basket you may need to cook these in 2 batches.  Do not overlap the pinwheels in the basket.
  • Please ensure you do not put the air fryer basket or trays lined with baking paper into the air fryer before you have weighed it down with food, otherwise the paper can fly up into the heating element.
  • These pinwheels are freezer friendly.  Once they are cooled completely, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Want to make these in the oven?  Try these pizza scrolls.
