Equipment:

Air fryer (We use the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer)

Ingredients:

Flour, enough to dust your work surface
1 package (17.3 oz) of frozen puff pastry, thawed
⅓ cup marinara sauce
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Pizza toppings of your choice
1 large egg, whisked
1 tbsp water
Grated parmesan cheese

Mix egg with water in a bowl, set aside.
Preheat the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer (or other air fryer) to 325°F on the “AIR FRY” setting.
Unfold the sheets of puff pastry and cut each sheet into six rectangles.
Add a portion of the sauce to the center of one side of each rectangle then top with mozzarella cheese and your preferred pizza toppings.
Fold the pastry over and use a fork to seal the edges shut. Cut a slit in the top of each pizza pocket.
Brush the tops with the egg wash then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the pizza pockets in the air fryer basket. Air-fry until golden brown and puffed, about 12 minutes, then serve. Serve alongside extra marinara for dipping if preferred.
