To Make Stuffed Pizza Balls in the air Fryer

  • Place stuffed dough balls in a single layer on the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave some room between each ball to ensure proper air circulation. Air fry at 350° Fahrenheit (177° Celsius) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Proper Thawing : Properly thaw the dough per package instructions. It will ensure buttery, flaky layers of pizza balls.
  • Don’t overstuff: Be mindful not to overload your pizza balls with fillings, as this can cause them to burst open during baking.
  • Seal tightly: Ensure that the edges of your pizza bites are securely pinched together to prevent any filling from leaking out.
  • Get creative: Experiment with different combinations of toppings and sauces to customize your stuffed pizza balls to your liking.
