Steps:
- Combine flour and yogurt together in a bowl to form a soft dough.
- Transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a large circle, about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Use a cereal bowl (or any other smaller bowl), coat the rim with flour, and press down into the dough to cut out 4 circles.
- Spread pizza sauce on the bottom half of each circle, leaving about 1/16th inch of rim space. Sprinkle sauce with mozzarella cheese, then top cheese with 4 slices of pepperoni.
- Fold the top half of the circle over, forming a half circle. Press the edges together to seal. Using the tines of a fork, crimp all the way around the sealed edges of each half circle.
- Spray each calzone with cooking spray and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
- Set an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Set calzones into the air fryer basket.
- Air-fry for 5 minutes, flip calzones, and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer you might need to work in batches.
- Check calzones for color and air-fry them for few more minutes if necessary. Remove and allow to cool a few minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Mix flour and Greek yogurt together in a bowl; transfer to a work surface floured with self-rising flour. Knead dough, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from being too sticky, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the bottom of the basket with cooking spray.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured work surface into a flat circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Spread 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce over the bottom half of each dough circle. Top each with 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and a quarter of the pepperoni. Fold dough over filling to form half circles and crimp edges to seal. Coat well with cooking spray.
- Transfer calzones to the air fryer basket (you might need to work in batches). Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the calzone over and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Tips:
- For an extra crispy crust, brush the outside of the calzone with olive oil before air frying.
- To prevent the calzone from sticking to the air fryer basket, preheat the basket for a few minutes before adding the calzone.
- If you don't have pizza dough, you can use puff pastry or crescent roll dough instead.
- Get creative with your fillings! You can use any type of cheese, meat, vegetables, or sauce that you like.
- Be careful not to overfill the calzone, or it will be difficult to seal.
- If you're using a filling that is wet, such as tomato sauce, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the calzone.
- To make sure the calzone is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the calzone is done.
Conclusion:
Air fryer calzones are a delicious and easy meal that can be made in just minutes. They're perfect for busy weeknights or for a quick and easy lunch. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a calzone that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give air fryer calzones a try!
