Pizza appears in many ways, shapes and forms around here, from pizza pasta and pizza dip to pepperoni pull-apart bread and even cinnamon rolls made with pizza dough (you need to see those to believe them!). But all it took was a recent recipe that instantly went viral to clue me in to the fact that biscuit dough + pizza toppings + an air fryer is a winning equation!

How Long to Cook Pizza Pockets In an Air Fryer

Once you’ve assembled your pizza pockets with your go-to fillings, it’s time for a quick egg wash and then a hearty sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese. This last step makes these extra, well… extra, but that crispy cheese on top is essential!

The cooking technique here comes down to not preheating the air fryer, as you want the gently rise in temperature to essentially bake the biscuits rather than fry them. So pop your pockets into the basket, crank your air fryer to 300°F and let the 10-minute countdown begin!

There’s not much canned biscuit dough can-not do (see what I did there?). If you’re looking to keep the savory train rolling, don’t miss my recipe for Everything Bagel Pull-Apart Bread, which features biscuit balls stuffed with cream cheese. I repeat: stuffed with cream cheese!

    Made this yesterday as an after-school snack for my teenage son and his friends. They were gone in seconds! Definitely a keeper – thank you!

  2. Hello. Beginning of article air fryer temp indicates 360. In the actual recipe temp calls for 300.
    Which is correct? Thanks.

    1. Thanks so much for catching this, Linda! I’ve updated the text to the correct temperature of 300F.
