Preparation
- Divide the Pizza Dough into equal portions.

- Using the rolling pin, roll the Pizza Dough into 6 inch circles approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) thick.
- Spread 1-2 tbsp of Pizza Sauce on one side of the circle leaving a border of around 1 inch (25mm).
- Add approximately 3 tbsp of Mozzarella Cheese on top of the Pizza Sauce.
- Chop up the Bell Green Pepper (Capsicum) into small pieces, and sprinkle 1 tbsp on top of the Cheese.
- Chop up the Mushrooms into small pieces, and sprinkle approximately 1 tbsp on top of the Bell Green Pepper (Capsicum) and Mushroom.
- Fold the clean side of the dough circle up and over the filled side.
- Gently twist and pinch the edges together to seal in the filling.
- Using a knife, poke 3 holes in the top of the Calzone.
- Using a brush, brush a bit of olive oil onto the Calzone, and the Air Fryer basket (to stop it from sticking).
Cooking
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 190°C or 375°F which usually takes around 3 minutes depending on the Air Fryer.
- Place two Calzones into the basket next to each other being careful not to overlap them.
- Cook for 9 Minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Substitute your own ingredients for the calzone filling if you want something different.
- You can also use Puff Pasty instead of Pizza Dough if you desire.
