For the Filling

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (or set your air fryer to 350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  3. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and gently separate each piece. Flatten each piece slightly to create a round base.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough round.
  5. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside and roll each filled dough into a ball shape.
  6. Place each ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the melted butter mixture.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or air fry for about 8 minutes until they bubble up and turn golden brown.
  8. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
