Divide the pizza dough into four equal pieces and roll each into a circular shape about 6 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.

Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a generous margin along the edges to ensure a good seal.

Sprinkle a hearty layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add a few slices of pepperoni atop the cheese.

Fold the dough over to create a half-circle shape, ensuring the filling is tucked securely inside. Press the edges together firmly.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for about 3-5 minutes.

Carefully place the calzones in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry at 375°F for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Optionally, brush the tops of the calzones with melted garlic butter right after flipping and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Once cooked, remove the calzones from the air fryer and let them sit for a minute to cool slightly. Serve with dipping sauce.
