Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces pizza dough
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheeses
  • 1 1/4 cups assorted fillings e.g., vegetables, meats
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing the top of the calzone
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine grind sea salt or kosher salt for top of calzone
  • marinara sauce for dipping

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Make the pizza dough if you are making it yourself and cook any fillings that need to be cooked. Allow the fillings to cool about 30 minutes prior to assembling the calzone. If the pizza dough is refrigerated, bring it out 30 minutes prior to rolling it.
  2. Cut a piece of parchment the size of your air fryer basket.
  3. Preheat the air fryer on its hottest setting with the air fryer basket or crisping plate inside the appliance for a full 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare a work surface by lightly flouring it. Roll the dough out into about an 8-9" circle. It should be between 1/8"-1/4" thick.
  5. Place the dough onto the parchment paper and ensure it fits inside the air fryer basket.
  6. Place 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese onto the dough 2" from the edge closest to you. Top with 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese.
  7. Add the remaining fillings on top, totaling about 1-1/2 cups.
  8. Put the remaining 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese on top of the fillings and sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
  9. Pull the edge of the dough furthest from you up and over the fillings so the edges meet and then press to seal.
  10. Jiggle the fillings to distribute them evenly inside the calzone and press to make a second seal.
  11. Fold the edges onto themselves for a thicker crust or trim off excess dough. Use a spoon to make cuts in the edges for decoration if desired.
  12. Brush the top of the calzone with olive oil and cut a few slits in the top. Sprinkle with salt.
  13. Place the parchment paper with the calzone into the air fryer and air fry at 400℉/200℃ for 8-12 minutes, checking after 5-6 minutes.
  14. When golden brown, remove from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes on a cooling rack.
  15. Cut and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Feel free to customize the fillings based on what you have on hand. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes.
