Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by bringing your pizza dough to room temperature, allowing it to soften for about 30 minutes.
- Mix the Fillings: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Stir in your choice of cooked meats, fresh spinach, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the prepared dough into a rectangle, aiming for a thickness of around ¼ inch.
- Cut the Dough: Using a round cutter, slice the rolled dough into circles measuring about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- Fill the Calzones: Place a generous spoonful of the filling mixture onto one half of each dough circle.
- Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges securely.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes and brush the tops of each calzone with a beaten egg.
- Air Fry Calzones: Place the calzones in a single layer in the air fryer and air fry for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Check for Doneness: If needed, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring they’re fully cooked and heated through.
- Serve: Allow the Air Fryer Calzones to cool for a minute or two before serving with marinara sauce.
