Tips for the Best Air Fryer Calzones
- Don’t overfill; too much filling makes sealing difficult and encourages leaks. A modest amount per calzone melts and spreads as it cooks.
- Keep edges of the dough free of sauce; wipe and re‑crimp if any filling gets on the seam.
- Line the basket with a perforated parchment liner or lightly spray with oil to prevent sticking while still allowing airflow.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to re‑crisp the crust.
FAQs
Can I use canned biscuit dough instead of pizza dough?
Yes. Flatten each biscuit into a small circle, fill, fold, and seal the same way; they’ll puff a bit more and taste like mini Alfredo hand pies.
Can I freeze Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones?
You can assemble and freeze them unbaked on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Air fry from frozen at 350–360°F (175–182°C), adding a few extra minutes until hot and golden.
What dipping sauces go well with these?
Warm Alfredo, garlic Parmesan sauce, ranch, or even marinara all pair nicely with the cheesy chicken filling.
