Calzones are typically baked in an oven, but they can also be fried or air fried. This is the best air fryer calzone recipe that, on top of all, happens to be vegan.

Ingredients for the calzone dough recipe

How to make the dough

  • With your hands. Add the flour to a large bowl and add salt and yeast. Mix with a wooden spoon and add the water. Mix until there is no water left. It’s going to make a sticky dough. Place it on a floured surface and start kneading until a smooth dough is formed. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • Use the stand mixer. Add all the ingredients to the mixer bowl using the dough hook attachment and mix on low speed until everything is integrated. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides down using a spatula. Turn on the mixer a little faster and knead for 5-7 minutes until a soft dough forms.
  • Proof the dough. Add the dough to a clean bowl covered with olive oil, place it in your GE Profile oven, and press the PROOF FUNCTION. Set the timer for 20 minutes.
    • Cover the oven with kitchen plastic or a towel if you are not using the oven. Leave at room temperature for two hours or until the dough doubles in size.
The proof setting in the GE Profile oven is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread doughs. 

It is as easy as making your dough, covering the dough to prevent drying with a kitchen towel or olive oil, and putting it inside the oven. 

Then, press the PROOF setting on the touch screen and press start.

Ingredients for the filling

  • Tomato sauce, or your favorite store-bought pizza sauce or marinara sauce.
  • Cheese, vegan cheese, ricotta cheese, or mozzarella cheese.
  • Spices, a dash of oregano, and fresh basil. You could also use a spice blend.
  • For a veggie calzone, mushrooms, spinach, red bell peppers, roasted garlic, onions, or other vegetables.
  • If you wish, you can add vegan Italian sausage, vegan pepperoni.

How to make the air fryer calzone

  1. Flour the surface you will work on.
  2. Roll the dough to form an 8″ circle. Spoon the tomato sauce in the middle, and sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese (I use vegan). Add a pinch of dried oregano and one or two torn fresh basil leaves. Add veggies if you wish.
  3. Carefully fold the dough in half and start folding inward the edges. Be sure to seal the edges all around. Brush the top with olive oil if you wish.
  4. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven. Set your oven to the air fryer function at 400ºF, and leave for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown.
With the GE Profile oven there is no need to preheat your air fryer, which makes it even faster to have this family favorite ready in less time.

Frequently asked questions

Is pizza dough and calzone dough the same? Yes, it is. I use the same dough for pizzas and in my famous recipe for sheet pan pizza.

Can you freeze calzones? Yes, freeze before baking. As soon as you seal the edges of your calzone, place it in a freezer-safe container and freeze until ready to use. There is no need to thaw before baking.

Can I use a regular air fryer? Yes, preheat your air fryer. Place the calzones on a piece of parchment paper on top of the air fryer basket. Cook at 325°F for 8 minutes, turn around and cook for 4 more minutes or until dough is golden brown.
