Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Adds an irresistible golden finish and rich flavor; substitute with olive oil for a healthier option.
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough Serves as the shortcut hero for fast preparation; crescent roll dough or pizza dough can also work.
For the Filling
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese Melts beautifully for gooey centers; try cheddar for a sharper taste or blend different cheeses for variety.
  • ½ cup mini pepperoni slices Tiny slices tuck perfectly inside the dough; regular-sized pepperoni can be chopped into smaller pieces or swapped for turkey pepperoni.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Provides a bold garlic punch; fresh minced garlic can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Enhances pizza flavors with herbs like oregano and basil; use a mix of individual herbs if the blend is unavailable.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (or the air fryer to 350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
  3. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the pieces. Flatten each piece to about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough round.
  5. Pinch the edges of each dough round to seal and gently roll them into balls.
  6. Place the dough balls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the seasoned butter mixture.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown; about 8 minutes in an air fryer.
  8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dip.
