Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into 6-inch circles (about ¼ inch thick).
Add Fillings: Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on one half of each dough circle. Top with mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and your choice of toppings.
Seal the Calzones: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the calzones for a golden, crispy crust. (Alternatively, brush with olive oil.)
Air Fry the Calzones: Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Cool & Serve: Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with extra pizza sauce for dipping!

Notes

Dough Options: You can use pre-made pizza dough, biscuit dough, or even crescent roll dough.
Filling Variations: Try adding cooked sausage, sautéed spinach, or different cheeses for variety.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
