These mini hand-held calzones are perfect as appetizers or snacks. I chose to use pepperoni but they would be great with sausage or just plain with cheese.

Directions

  • Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 9 circles using a 2 1/8-inch biscuit cutter. Roll each circle into a 4 1/2-inch disc. Fill each disc with 1 teaspoon pizza sauce, 3 slices pepperoni, and 1/2 tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Fold over, secure edges by folding, and crimp with the tines of a fork.

  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray with avocado oil. Place a batch of calzones into the basket and mist them with avocado oil.

  • Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn calzones over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining calzones.

I had to scrap using the air fryer. It wasn't working out. They stuck. Badly. So I brushed them with oil and put them in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Read More

the idea sounded great, but calzones have more inside. mini pizza pockets would be a good descriptive name. However, i added a mixture of Italian spices along with a teaspoon with a mixture of cottage cheese (small curd) and ricotta cheese, lessened the pepperoni by 1 slice for room and they turned out great with more of a truer calzone flavor. You can also leave out the sauce and use it for dipping. Read More

The calzones were tasty. I used a combo of pepperoni, Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese. I did add extra pepperoni to fill the calzone. Just be careful not to overfill. I also used water on the edges to seal the calzone to prevent leakage. I sprayed the air fryer basket with cooking spray and used a mister filled with olive oil to spray the calzones. I baked at 370 degrees because my air fryer doesn't have the option of 375 degrees. Thank you Yoly for the great recipe! Read More

This was a big hit for my family! I got 12 mini calzones out of a package of Pillsbury pizza dough (the kind in the can), and just kind of winged it with the filling amount based on the size of the discs. They came out crispy and delicious in the air fryer. Read More

It was fun and super easy to make! I used my heart shape cookie cutter for a Valentine's day appetizer. My friend Laurie said it was "full of flavor and a perfect snack sized treat" Read More
