Air Fryer Pepperoni Pizza Buns

Makes 6

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon powdered Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 16 cubes mozzarella cheese
• 18 slices of pepperoni (we used Chris Brothers pepperoni)
• 2 tablespoons melted garlic butter.
• ½ cup of your favorite pizza sauce

Directions:

1. Place the flour into a bowl and add the yeast, olive oil, parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil. Add the warm water (110°F is the ideal temperature) and mix with a fork until you have a shaggy dough.
2. Roll out onto a floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Place into a bowl that has been rubbed with olive oil.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 15 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into six portions and roll into 4-inch discs.
6. Place three slices of pepperoni on each, topped with a cube of cheese.
7. Form a ball around the filling, sealing well so that no cheese leaks out.
8. Brush with melted garlic butter.
9. Place into an air fryer that has been preheated to 400°F and air fry for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Heat the pizza sauce and serve on the side for dipping.
