Preparation Steps

Preheat the Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Divide pizza dough into four equal pieces and roll each into a 6-inch diameter circle.
Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a half-inch border.
Layer shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni on top of the sauce, adding more cheese if desired.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges securely.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and arrange calzones in a single layer.
Air fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
Let cool for a minute, then brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning before serving.
