These air-fried calzones start with two-ingredient pizza dough, making it super easy to whip up from scratch. Feel free to experiment with other fillings instead of (or in addition to) the pepperoni, such as cooked and crumbled Italian sausage.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

olive oil cooking spray
1 ½ cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup pepperoni

Steps:

Mix flour and Greek yogurt together in a bowl; transfer to a work surface floured with self-rising flour. Knead dough, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from being too sticky, 8 to 10 minutes.
Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the bottom of the basket with cooking spray.
Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured work surface into a flat circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Spread 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce over the bottom half of each dough circle. Top each with 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and a quarter of the pepperoni. Fold dough over filling to form half circles and crimp edges to seal. Coat well with cooking spray.
Transfer calzones to the air fryer basket (you might need to work in batches). Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the calzone over and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup pizza sauce, or as needed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
16 slices pepperoni
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

Combine flour and yogurt together in a bowl to form a soft dough.
Transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a large circle, about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Use a cereal bowl (or any other smaller bowl), coat the rim with flour, and press down into the dough to cut out 4 circles.
Spread pizza sauce on the bottom half of each circle, leaving about 1/16th inch of rim space. Sprinkle sauce with mozzarella cheese, then top cheese with 4 slices of pepperoni.
Fold the top half of the circle over, forming a half circle. Press the edges together to seal. Using the tines of a fork, crimp all the way around the sealed edges of each half circle.
Spray each calzone with cooking spray and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Set an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Set calzones into the air fryer basket.
Air-fry for 5 minutes, flip calzones, and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer you might need to work in batches.
Check calzones for color and air-fry them for few more minutes if necessary. Remove and allow to cool a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

For a crispy crust, brush the calzones with olive oil or melted butter before air frying.
To prevent the calzones from sticking to the air fryer basket, preheat the air fryer for a few minutes before adding the calzones.
Cook the calzones in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the calzones reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the air fryer.
Serve the calzones with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or tzatziki sauce.
