Step 1: Make the Dough (or Use Pre-Made)

1. In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. Stir in warm water and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead for 6–8 minutes on a floured surface until smooth.
4. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes.

Shortcut: Skip this step by using store-bought pizza dough.

Step 2: Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling

1. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Stir in mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
3. Optional: Add ranch or blue cheese for extra creaminess.

Taste and adjust heat by adding more buffalo sauce if needed.

Step 3: Roll and Fill

1. Divide dough into 8–10 pieces. Roll each into a 5–6 inch circle or oval.
2. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center.
3. Fold over to form a half-moon and press edges closed.
4. Use a fork to crimp and seal tightly.

Step 4: Bake or Air Fry

To Bake:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Brush with egg wash for golden tops.
4. Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

To Air Fry:

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
