Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Air Fryer Calzones
  1. Begin by dividing the pizza dough into four equal pieces and rolling each into a circular shape about 6 inches in diameter.
  2. Spread a generous tablespoon of pizza sauce over the half of each round of dough, then layer with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
  3. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, crimping the edges well to seal.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3-5 minutes, while lightly spraying the basket with cooking oil.
  5. Place the calzones in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry at 375°F for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. In the last minutes of cooking, brush the tops with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  7. Remove calzones once golden brown, let them cool slightly, and serve warm with dipping sauces.
