Panzerotti in the air fryer ready in a few minutes and they don’t need rising time; you can serve them instead of pizza, to accompany an aperitif or as an appetizer. Air-fryer calzones can be filled in many ways depending on what you have in the pantry or fridge. For example, I filled them with mozzarella, cooked ham and sautéed mushrooms. To cut the dough discs for the panzerotti you can use a round cutter or a small plate and then trim the edge with a knife; I made them 6 5/16 in. If you have it, you can also use a panzerotti mold ( this ONE ). These panzerotti are made with instant baking powder for savory preparations, so you don’t have to let them rise for hours — they will rise during baking. With instant baking powder you can also make many savory quick breads, savory loaf cakes and zucchini muffins. If you don’t have an air fryer, try the NO-RISE CALZONES. The cooking time of the air-fryer panzerotti may vary depending on the model of airfryer you use — this is the air fryer I use.

How to make panzerotti in the air fryer
Let’s start preparing the panzerotti cooked in the air fryer. Make the dough by putting the flour, the baking powder, the water, the oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Mix well and knead for a few minutes until you have a smooth dough ball.
Divide the dough into 6 portions, roll each out with a rolling pin and cut the discs; you can use a round cutter, a small plate or the special panzerotti tool, then trim the edge with a knife — I made them about 6 5/16 in.
Fill them with cooked ham, pizza mozzarella and sautéed mushrooms. Close the panzerotti pressing the edges firmly; if you don’t have the tool, fold the dough over to seal well and press the tines of a fork along the edge.
Proceed until you’ve used all the dough. Any scraps from cutting the discs can be re-kneaded to make more calzones.
Place the panzerotti in the air fryer basket, spray them with extra virgin olive oil and cook at 374°F for 12 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer model.
When the panzerotti are cooked, remove them from the air fryer basket and serve hot.
