Cheese and Sausage Calzones

Cheese and Sausage Calzones are the perfect after school snack or even for a football game party. I like to order Pizza Hut's calzones from time to time. It makes me feel less guilty ordering those instead of ordering a whole entire pizza just for myself and sometimes I feel just ordering one of those is way too much for me!  I'm a light eater, and usually, I can just eat half a calzone and I'll save the other half for the next day. Calzones are just stuffed pizzas without the sauce. However, a lot of people like to dip their calzones in marinara sauce or pizza sauce. The possibilities are endless with calzones.

Air Fryer Method

The recipe below calls for oven instructions. If you wish to air fry these, set your air fryer to 350 Fahrenheit. Bake one side for 6 minutes and flip them over for another 6.

Brush the calzones with an egg wash on them to get them nice. An egg wash is just a beaten egg. Whip it really hard with a fork and then use a pastry brush to brush it on the dough.

Serve with some zero point marinara sauce.
