Ingredients

Pizza Pockets Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Pizza Sauce, Divided
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Divided
  • 8 Slices Pepperoni
  • 1 tsp Garlic Salt
  • Olive Oil Cooking Spray
  • 8 Biscuits (canned biscuit dough)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Take the biscuits from the can and flatten each biscuit dough using your hand or a rolling pin until thin enough to form pockets.
  2. Add Toppings: Spread 1/8 cup pizza sauce onto 4 of the flattened biscuits. Evenly sprinkle 1/8 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, then add 2 slices of pepperoni on each. Leave space along the edges to seal the pockets.
  3. Form the Pockets: Place one plain biscuit dough (without toppings) on top of each prepared biscuit, then gently pull and pinch the edges together to fully encase the fillings and form sealed pockets.
  4. Seal Edges: Use a fork to press down along the edges of each pocket to seal them securely and prevent filling leakage during cooking.
  5. Prepare for Air Frying: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Place the pockets inside the basket, fitting as many as possible without overcrowding (usually two at a time).
  6. Season and Spray: Lightly spray the tops of the pockets with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with a dash of garlic salt for added flavor.
  7. Air Fry the Pockets: Cook the pockets in the air fryer at 360°F for 4-5 minutes. After 4 minutes, carefully flip the pockets over and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until the pockets are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Check Doneness & Serve: If needed, cut open pockets to check the inside temperature and cook a bit longer if the filling isn’t hot enough. Serve warm and enjoy your easy pizza pockets!

Notes

  • You can customize these pockets with any pizza toppings you prefer, such as vegetables or different meats.
  • The cheese and sauce amounts are divided to evenly distribute among the 4 pockets.
  • Make sure to seal edges well to avoid fillings leaking during air frying.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
