Ingredients
  

Dough and Basic Ingredients
  • 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • all-purpose flour (for working with the dough) Use as needed to prevent sticking.
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For brushing the calzone and air fryer basket.
Toppings
  • toppings of your choice Could include pepperoni, veggies, etc.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Divide the dough into 8 equally sized pieces.
  2. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll the pizza dough into a 6-inch circle to about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Spread 1-2 tbsp of pizza sauce on one half of the circle, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Add ~3 tbsp cheese and ~2 tbsp various toppings to each calzone.
  5. Fold the clean side of the dough over the filled side.
  6. Gently twist and pinch the edges together to seal the calzone. Use a knife to cut 2-3 vents in the top.
  7. Brush olive oil on the basket of the air fryer and on the top of the calzone.
Cooking
  1. Place 1-2 calzones in the air fryer and bake at 370°F for 9 minutes, checking at 7 minutes as cooking times may vary by air fryer.

Notes

Serve calzones hot with extra pizza sauce or a side salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer.
