FAQ
Can I replace mozzarella with another cheese?
Absolutely! You can use scamorza, provola, or similar stringy cheeses. Avoid cheeses too watery, otherwise, the filling might become soggy.
Can I use puff pastry instead of pizza dough?
Yes, puff pastry makes the pastries lighter and crispier, but it will slightly change the texture. The air fryer works perfectly with puff pastry too.
Can I freeze the mini pastries already filled?
Yes, you can freeze them before cooking. Lay them on a tray in a single layer, freeze, and then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook in the air fryer directly from frozen, adding a few more minutes.
