Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add cooked meats, spinach, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large round, about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Cut the Dough: Cut the dough into 6-8 inch circles.
  5. Fill the Calzones: Place filling on one half of each circle, leaving space around the edges.
  6. Fold and Seal: Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.
  7. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the calzones with beaten egg.
  8. Air Fry the Calzones: Place calzones in the air fryer and cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Check for Doneness: Ensure filling is bubbling and dough is golden; adjust cooking time if necessary.
  10. Serve Warm with Marinara: Let cool slightly and serve with marinara for dipping.
