ingredients
directions
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a medium bowl till combined.
Add the yogurt to the bowl and mix with a spatula until a crumbly dough forms.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour and turn your dough out onto the work space and knead until the dough is combined. The dough should be tacky but not sticky. Add a little more flour if needed.
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Dust a rolling pin with a little flour and roll the dough balls out into thin rounds.
On one half of the round, add 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce, ¼ cup of mozzarella and 4-5 pepperonis. You can add more or less, just be careful not to over stuff.
Brush the border with some of the egg wash before folding the dough over onto itself. Seal the edges with a fork and brush the top of the pizza pocket with egg wash.
Air fry at 380°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden. Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before enjoying!
