Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

Prepare the Calzones: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough. Use a 2 1/8-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 9 circles. Roll each circle into a 4 1/2-inch disc. Fill each disc with 1 teaspoon pizza sauce, 3 slices of pepperoni, and 1/2 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, securing the edges by folding them over and crimping with the tines of a fork. (Approximately 20 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Preheat and Prepare Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and lightly spray with avocado oil. (Approximately 5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Air Fry the Calzones: Place a batch of calzones into the prepared air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Mist the calzones with avocado oil. (Approximately 2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Cook to Golden Perfection: Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the calzones over, mist again with avocado oil, and continue to air fry until they are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes more. (Approximately 10 minutes per batch)

05

Step
15 mins

Repeat and Serve: Repeat the process with any remaining calzones. Serve immediately and enjoy these warm, delectable mini pizza calzones!

For a vegetarian option, try filling the calzones with sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and ricotta cheese.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone, cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Make sure to seal the edges of the calzones tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
If you don't have avocado oil spray, you can brush the calzones lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
Adjust the air frying time as needed, depending on your air fryer model.
