Filled with fresh mozzarella and pepperoni then brushed with melted garlic butter, these air fryer pizza puffs are crispy on the outside, ooey gooey on the inside! I wanted to try this recipe I saw from Taste of Home Magazine, and it was great!  I like that you can also prepare these, then freeze them uncooked.  This way, you have just one or two (or ten!) whenever the mood hits you.  Love it!

For this recipe, rather than deep frying, I used our Deluxe Air Fryer:

Deluxe Air Fryer

Best Air Fryer for a Family

Enjoy fried foods at home without all the mess, hassle, and oil of deep frying but with all the flavor and texture you love. Ours is family-sized to quickly cook up to six servings, a whole chicken or roast, or appetizers for a crowd. Like a convection oven, super-heated air circulates giving food a crispy texture. No preheating is necessary, saving you precious time. Conveniently fits under kitchen cabinets.

Air Fryer, Rotisserie, & Dehydrator All-in-One

Ours does more than just better-for-you air frying. It makes perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken, crispy outside and tender inside, so you can skip the hit-or-miss ones at the grocery store. And it dehydrates fruits, veggies, and herbs so you can enjoy their fresh flavors well beyond the season.

Product Details

• Family-sized 11.6-qt. capacity fits up to a 4 lb. whole chicken.
• Eight programmed settings: Air Fry, Bake, Roast, Rotisserie, Reheat, Dehydrate, Custom, and Rotate

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough, thawed
• 20 slices pepperoni
• 8-ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 20 cubes
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed

Toppings

• Crushed red pepper – optional
• Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
• Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

Divide pizza dough into 20 pieces, then roll out into a small circle that is approximately ⅛ – inch thick. Place one slice of pepperoni on dough, then top with one cube of cheese. Pinch dough closed and roll the dough into the shape of a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough, pepperoni, and cheese.

Place on air fryer trays and cook at 350°F/175⁰C for 8-10 minutes, or until golden.

Meanwhile, heat butter until melted, and add in pressed garlic and crushed red pepper, if using.

Remove cooked pizza puffs from trays and brush with the melted butter mixture.  Sprinkle with grated cheese, if desired. Serve with marinara sauce on the side.

That’s it!  I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe.  I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!
