Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your air fryer to the same temperature.
  2. Roll out the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares, typically around 4 inches on each side.
  3. Take a spoonful of marinara sauce and place it in the center of each dough square, then layer with shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of toppings.
  4. Fold each dough square over the filling to form a pocket and press the edges firmly to seal.
  5. Place the filled pizza pockets in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
  6. Remove the pizza pockets from the oven or air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
