Air Fryer Calzones (Crazy Easy)

These Air Fryer Calzones feature pizza dough pockets filled with layers of pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, sealed and cooked in the air fryer. The exteriors become golden brown and crispy while the cheeses melt inside, offering a handheld pizza experience made efficiently with minimal oil. The air fryer method ensures quick cooking and a pleasant crisp texture without deep frying.

Description

Air Fryer Calzones (Crazy Easy) use divided pizza dough pieces rolled out and topped with sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and more mozzarella before folding over and sealing. Cooking in a sprayed air fryer basket crisps the dough to a golden brown in 7-10 minutes at 375°F, turning once for even cooking.

The finished calzones have a chewy, crisp crust with melted cheese and savory pepperoni inside, combining classic pizza flavors in a convenient pocket shape. This method avoids excess oil and ovens.

These calzones serve well as a convenient snack, lunch, or casual dinner, and cooking them in batches sustains crispness. They pair well with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 oz pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Split the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Using your hands, roll out each dough piece into a pizza shape.
  2. Using a ladle or spoon, spread the sauce on half of the dough, making sure to leave the edges clean.
  3. Top the sauce with a layer of cheese, followed by a layer of pepperoni and another layer of cheese.
  4. Fold over the clean side of the dough to create a half-circle shape. Crimp the edges with your fingers to seal the filling inside.
  5. Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the calzone into the basket.
  6. Air fry the calzones in batches for 7-10 minutes at 375°F, turning them over halfway through. Once they turn golden brown, they are ready. Enjoy!
