Pepperoni Pocket Air Fryer (Print)

Pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce tucked inside crispy pockets—whip them up in no time for a fun lunch or speedy snack.

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 can pre-made pizza or crescent dough, chilled

→ Fillings

02 - 20–25 pepperoni slices
03 - 100 g mozzarella, shredded
04 - 120 ml pizza or marinara sauce

→ Topping

05 - Beaten egg, 1
06 - 2 tbsp Parmesan (optional)
07 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Turn on the air fryer to 190°C for three minutes to get it hot.
02 - Slice up the pizza or crescent dough into even rectangles or squares after rolling it out.
03 - Layer pepperoni, sprinkle cheese, and spoon sauce on half of every dough piece.
04 - Cover the filling by folding over dough, then squish the edges together with a fork so nothing leaks out.
05 - Brush the tops with the egg wash, add Parmesan and Italian herbs if you want.
06 - Set the filled pieces inside the basket, leaving space, and cook eight to ten minutes till they're crisp and browned.
07 - Take out the pockets, let them chill for a moment, then dig in—watch out since the middle's super hot.

# Notes:

01 - Don’t pile in too much filling, or sealing will be tricky and they won’t get as crispy.
02 - Cleanup is a breeze if you use parchment paper in the basket, but you don’t have to.
