Instructions

  • Take your pizza dough out of the fridge and allow to go to room temperature so that it is easy to use. Add a little flour to the dough and knead it for a couple of minutes so that it goes soft and has that wonderful just made dough feeling. Put it to one side.
  • Place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl (apart from the dough and olive oiand mix well until you have a lovely Italian paste. This is the secret dough filling.
  • Break your dough up into eight equal sized pieces. For each piece flatten it out like a pancake and put about 1/3 of a teaspoon over it and seal it up so that it becomes a secret compartment.
  • Do this for all eight and then make them into pizza dough balls.
  • Brush them with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Place them in the Air Fryer for 10 minutes at 180c/360f followed by 5 minutes at 160c/320f.

Notes

When I make my pizza dough, I find that I use 2/3 of it on the actual pizza and then I have a 3rd left over for this recipe.
For the cheese I used grated mozzarella, but you can use any grated pizza cheese in this recipe.
If you ate out at Pizza Express your pizza dough balls would be served with a harissa dipping sauce. To make this just add a ¼ teaspoon of harissa paste to some tomato ketchup and mix it in.
