Ingredients
  

  • 2- 8 ounce Crescent Dough Sheets, or Crescent Rolls
  • 2 cups Mozarella Cheese - shredded
  • 3 ounces Pepperoni slices - cut into quaters
  • 1 cup bottled marinara sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 4 Tablespoons butter-melted
  • ½ Tablespoon Italian Seasonings
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese - grated
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions
 

  • On a lightly floured surface roll out each sheet of crescent dough to flatten any curled edges. If using crescent roll dough pinch together the perforations to seal the dough.
  • Cut each sheet into three equal sections for larger calzones, or 6 sections for smaller hand pie size.
  • In a large bowl combine mozarella cheese, quartered pepperoni, and marinara sauce. Mix until well combined.
  • Place 2 heaping tablespoons of calzone filling on the center of one half of the dough. Brush the inside edge of each calzone with a little milk. Fold the dough over and press dough down with fingers. Using the tines of a fork, go around the outside edge of the calzone, gently pressing the tines down into the dough.
  • In a small bowl add melted butter, Italian seasonings, and garlic salt. Brush the top of each calzone with Italian seasoned butter and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray bottom of air fryer with cooking spray. Place one calzone in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Bake at 390° for 6 minutes. You can also line the bottom of the air fryer with parchment paper place the calzone in the bottom and bake for 5 minutes at 390°F then flip the calzone over and bake for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Continue cooking calzones till all the calzones are baked. Cool slightly. Serve with a cup of marinara sauce.
