Indulge in the vibrant flavors of the Hawaiian Islands with our delectable Hawaiian calzones. These delightful pockets of paradise are a unique fusion of Italian and Hawaiian cuisine, promising an explosion of taste in every bite. Each calzone is lovingly crafted with a soft and chewy pizza dough, enveloping a generous filling of savory kalua pig, juicy pineapple, and melted mozzarella cheese. Drizzled with a tangy teriyaki sauce and sprinkled with toasted coconut, these calzones offer a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory flavors.
This article presents two enticing variations of our Hawaiian calzone recipe. The first recipe features a classic kalua pig filling, capturing the essence of traditional Hawaiian luau cuisine. The succulent pork is slow-cooked in an underground oven, infusing it with a tender texture and smoky aroma. Paired with sweet pineapple and melted mozzarella, this calzone is a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
The second recipe introduces a creative twist with its chicken and pineapple filling. Marinated chicken breasts are grilled to perfection, delivering a juicy and flavorful contrast to the sweet pineapple and melted mozzarella. Drizzled with a zesty teriyaki sauce, this calzone offers a delightful interplay of tangy and savory notes.
Both calzone recipes are accompanied by step-by-step instructions and helpful tips to ensure a successful culinary experience. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting your culinary journey, these recipes are designed to guide you through the process of creating these delectable treats. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's embark on a culinary adventure that will transport you to the shores of Hawaii with every bite.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- Prepare the pizza base as directed on the packet.
- While it rises, cut the pineapple chunks into smaller pieces if you are using canned pineapple chunks.
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple with the ham and cheese.
- When it has risen, divide the pizza dough into four even portions. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch round.

- Spread pizza sauce over each base. Top with even portions of the filling over half of each round.
- Fold over the dough and press the eggy edges gently to seal.

- Brush each calzone with beaten egg.
- Lay the calzones carefully on a greased pan and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

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.
