Instructions for Use

Homemade Italian Meatballs Calzone

INSTRUCTIONS

1. On a lightly oured surface, roll out the pizza dough until 1/4-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter or

a large glass to cut out 8 to 10 rounds of dough. Transfer the rounds to a parchment paper-lined

baking sheet. Gather up the dough scraps, then reroll and repeat cutting out rounds until you have 16.

2. Top each round with 2 teaspoons of sauce, 1 tablespoon of cheese, and 1 teaspoon of pepperoni.

Working with one dough round at a time, fold in half, then pinch the edges together to seal. When

each calzone is sealed, use a fork to crimp the edges closed to further seal.

3. Set the microwave to the Convection (Conv.) function at 425°F and the timer for 20 minutes and

start cooking. Working in batches of 4, air fry the calzones until golden brown and crisp. Serve

with additional pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
