120 ml Alfredo sauce

Olive oil for brushing
# Steps:
01 -
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal portions to form the base for each calzone.
02 -
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of Alfredo sauce evenly onto each dough portion, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 -
Distribute shredded chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, and cooked spinach over the Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle with dried Italian seasoning for enhanced flavor.
04 -
Fold dough over the filling to create pockets and press edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp and ensure closure during cooking.
05 -
Brush the tops of each calzone lightly with olive oil to promote a golden, crispy crust in the air fryer.
06 -
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) to prepare for cooking.
07 -
Place calzones in the air fryer basket, spacing them apart to ensure even cooking. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
08 -
Remove calzones from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns from hot filling.
# Notes:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, consider brushing with garlic-infused olive oil or adding red pepper flakes to the filling.
02 -
These can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; cook when ready to serve.
03 -
Serve warm with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping.
