Assemble the Pizza Puffs: Add a piece of mozzarella cheese and your desired pizza toppings (pepperoni, sausage, etc.) on top of the sauce.

Seal the Pizza Puffs: Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Roll them gently in your hands to form a ball, making sure the filling is enclosed.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.

Cook the Pizza Puffs: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the sealed pizza puffs in the basket, seam-side down, making sure they are not touching each other. Air fry the pizza puffs at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
