Prepare Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.

Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to create a thin, even sheet. Then, cut the dough into squares or rectangles of your preferred size for the pockets.

Layer the Fillings: In the center of each dough square, add a spoonful of marinara sauce, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few slices of pepperoni, and any other pizza toppings you desire.

Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the dough over the fillings to create a pocket shape. Use a fork to seal the edges, ensuring none of the delicious ingredients escape during cooking.

Prepare the Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix it with minced garlic and Italian seasoning. This will be used to brush the pizza pockets for added flavor.

Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with the garlic butter mixture, and sprinkle a bit of extra Italian seasoning for that authentic pizzeria touch.

Air Fry: Place the pizza pockets in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and crispy.

Serve: Remove the piping hot pizza pockets from the air fryer, let them cool for a moment, and then serve them up! Optionally, pair them with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
