Lightly flour your work surface, then unroll the crescent roll or pizza dough and press or pinch any seams together to form a single sheet.

Cut the dough into 4 even rectangles.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara or pizza sauce onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella over the sauce on each piece.

Arrange 5 slices of beef halal beef sausage slices over the cheese on each rectangle and sprinkle with Italian seasoning if using.

Fold the empty half of each rectangle over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges together firmly with your fingers.

Crimp the edges all the way around each pocket with the tines of a fork to seal well.

Brush the tops of the pockets evenly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with grated Parmesan if using.

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and place the pizza pockets in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each one.

Air fry the pockets at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the dough is puffed, deep golden, and crisp.

Transfer the cooked pockets to a wire rack and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the cheese can set slightly.
