Easy Air Fryer Homemade Calzone

by Air Fryer Family Meals

These delicious air fryer homemade calzones are made with a delicious pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese for the calzone filling. You can use your favorite pizza toppings to make this dish quick and easy in the air fryer!

Do you remember the first time you had a golden brown calzone? They are so good, it’s like a better version of pizza pockets! You can make these with store bought pizza dough or homemade pizza dough. Grab your favorite tomato sauce and your favorite fillings and get ready for a treat!

When it comes to ingredients, make sure you have a tasty marinara sauce. This recipe will not require bell peppers, parmesan cheese, egg wash, ricotta cheese or olive oil. Even though traditional calzones are made on a pizza stone, you can get a pretty great tasting calzone from your air fryer as well.

These easy calzones only require a few ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup of pizza sauce 
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese 
  • 1/2 cup of pepperoni

Make sure you flour your work surface before you get started. You will have to flatten the bread dough with a rolling pin to 1/8 of an inch on the floured surface. 

You can use a small bowl to cut out 5inch circles from the dough. To make these calzone pizza pockets you can add your favorite toppings, fold dough and place in the air fryer.

For fun you can add different cheeses and filling ingredients. It’s all about your personal preference. These are great for pizza night. The meat filling that I chose was pepperoni but you can use italian sausage in the calzone dough as well. 

There are more than a couple of ways that you can make these! Think about them as individual pizza for each family member. 

How do you store leftovers?

If you want to keep these for the next day be sure to put them in an airtight container in the fridge.
