Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb pizza dough at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz sliced beef halal beef sausage slices or beef sausage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil spray or neutral cooking oil spray
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour for dusting the work surface

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface, then divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
  3. Working with one piece at a time, press and roll the dough into a 7 to 8 inch circle.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto half of each dough circle, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge.
  5. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup mozzarella over the sauce, then add an even layer of beef halal beef sausage slices or beef sausage slices, and top with another 1/4 cup mozzarella. Do not overfill.
  6. Fold the clean side of the dough over the filling to form a half moon.
  7. Press the edges together firmly with your fingers, then crimp or pinch again to seal so the filling does not leak.
  8. Lightly spray the tops and bottoms of the calzones with oil spray.
  9. Spray the air fryer basket with oil, then place the calzones in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each one. Cook in batches if needed.
  10. Air fry at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the calzones halfway through, until the crust is deep golden and the cheese inside is melted.
  11. Transfer the calzones to a rack or plate and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the filling can cool slightly and set.

Notes

- For freezer prep, assemble raw calzones, freeze on a parchment lined sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag and air fry from frozen, adding 2 to 4 minutes to the cook time.
- Reheat leftover cooked calzones in the air fryer at 350°F for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping once, until hot and crisp again.
