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.
