Pepperoni version: Place 1–2 tbsp mozzarella and 3–4 pepperoni slices in the center.
Cheeseburger version: Spoon 1–2 tbsp beef mixture and top with shredded cheddar.
Fold each dough circle over filling to form a half-moon or bring edges together to make a pouch. Pinch edges tightly to seal.
Arrange puffs seam-side down on the prepared sheet, leaving 1 inch between each.
4. Bake & Brush
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until golden brown and puffy.
While baking, mix melted butter and garlic powder.
Remove puffs from oven and immediately brush with garlic butter for extra flavor.
Tips & Variations
Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter or use spicy pepperoni.
Veggie Puffs: Fill with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and feta cheese.
Sweet Twist: Use pizza dough, Nutella, and marshmallows for a dessert puff.
Air Fryer Option: Cook at 380°F for 8–10 minutes for crispier edges.
