๐Ÿ• Transform your weeknight dinner routine with these crispy, golden air fryer calzones that deliver restaurant-quality pizza in just 10 minutes
๐ŸŒช๏ธ Enjoy perfectly cooked calzones with gooey cheese centers and crispy crusts without the hassle of traditional oven baking

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 calzones

Ingredients

– 1 pound (about 450 grams) pizza dough forms the base for a soft yet crispy exterior.

– 1/2 cup (120 ml) pizza sauce provides a tangy base for the fillings.

– 2 cups (about 200 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese delivers creamy, melted goodness inside.

– 4 ounces (about 115 grams) pepperoni adds savory, flavorful bites throughout.

Instructions

1-First, divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each one into a circle on a floured surface. This helps form the base without sticking. Next, spread the pizza sauce over half of each circle, making sure to leave the edges clear for sealing.

2-Then, layer on the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and a bit more cheese on top of the sauce. This combo creates that gooey center everyone loves. After that, fold the dough over to make a half-moon shape and seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork to keep everything inside.

3-Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray and place the calzones inside, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking. Air fry at 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they’re golden brown. For extra flavor, brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan and Italian seasoning after flipping.
