Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 4 oz pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Divide your pizza dough into 4 equal portions and flatten each one into a round shape using your hands.
  2. Spread pizza sauce on one half of each dough round, leaving a clean edge for folding.
  3. Add cheese, pepperoni, then another layer of cheese on top of the sauce.
  4. Fold the uncovered half over the filling and crimp edges firmly to seal.
  5. Prepare your air fryer with a quick spray of cooking oil. Arrange calzones in the basket so they aren’t touching.
  6. Cook at 375°F for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Keep the edges sauce-free to ensure a tight seal and avoid soggy edges., Seal edges firmly with a fork or fingers to prevent filling from leaking., Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; air needs to circulate for best crisping., Brush with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan and Italian seasoning after flipping for extra flavor (optional)., Calzones can be frozen raw or cooked for up to 3 months; reheat in air fryer at 375°F for 7–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
