Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz pizza dough frozen ball, thawed, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 3.5 oz pepperoni
  • 2 cups mozzarella grated
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tsp garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • On cutting board, lightly dusted with corn meal (or flour), stretch out pizza dough to a fairly thin rectangle. Be sure your dough is ROOM TEMPERATURE!!! This helps it to stretch more easily.
    16 oz pizza dough
  • Slice into 8 squares and stretch each square a little more. If you get a hole - just pinch it together. No need for perfection!
  • Spread 1 small spoonful of pizza sauce onto each square
    1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • Lay out 4 slices pepperoni and a large pinch of cheese onto each square
    3.5 oz pepperoni, 2 cups mozzarella
  • Pull dough sides up and pinch sides together and lightly pat into a ball
  • In a microwave safe dish, add butter and minced garlic. Microwave for 30 seconds until melted.
    1/4 cup butter, 1 tsp garlic
  • Line air fryer with parchment paper and lay pizza bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You want a little space between each one so depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook them in batches. Brush tops with melted garlic butter and reserve the rest for dipping!
  • Air fry at 350º for 6 minutes until bites are golden brown. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
