Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough {homemade or storebought}
all-purpose flour {for working with the dough}
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella
toppings of your choice
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Divide the dough into 8 equally sized pieces.
1 lb pizza dough
Working with 1 piece at a time, roll pizza dough into a 6-inch circle to the thickness of ~1/8 inch.
all-purpose flour
Spread 1-2 tbsp of pizza sauce on one half of the circle, leaving a 1-inch border.
1/2 cup pizza sauce
Add ~3 tbsp cheese and ~2 tbsp various toppings to each calzone.
2 cups shredded mozzarella, toppings of your choice
Fold the clean side of the dough up and over the filled side.
Gently twist and pinch the edges together to seal the calzone. Use a knife to cut 2-3 vents in the top.
Brush olive oil on the basket of the air fryer AND the top of the calzone.
1 tbsp olive oil
Place 1-2 calzones in the air fryer and bake at 370˚F for 9 minutes (check at 7 minutes since all air fryers will bake slightly differently).

Notes

If you're making pizza dough from scratch, add 1 hour to the prep time for the recipe.
If using refrigerated pizza dough, allow it to come to room temperature before rolling.
All meats used must be cooked before baking in air fryer.

Oven Baking Instructions:

Bake on a baking sheet at 435˚F for 15-20 minutes.
