Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into circles.
- Place a few slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of cheese on one half of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.
- Brush the tops with egg wash.

Notes
For a golden finish, brush the egg wash evenly over the tops of the calzones. Experiment with different fillings to suit your taste. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting during cooking.
