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.
Ingredients
- refrigerated pizza dough (such as Pillsbury®): 1 pack (13.8 ounce pack)
- pizza sauce: 9 tsp
- pepperoni (such as Hormel®): 1 pack (1.75 ounce pack)

Stages of cooking
-
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.
