Description
This quick and easy Air Fryer Pizza recipe lets you enjoy homemade pizza with a perfectly crispy crust in just 19 minutes. Using simple pizza dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings, this method cooks pizza efficiently in an air fryer, delivering a delicious and convenient meal perfect for any pizza lover.
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 16 oz Pizza Dough (enough for one 12 inch pizza)
For the Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons pizza sauce (1 1/2 tablespoons per pizza half)
For the Toppings
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite toppings (such as pepperoni, vegetables, olives, etc.)
Instructions
- Form Dough Balls: Take the 16 oz pizza dough and divide it into two equal halves, forming each into a ball to prepare for shaping.
- Shape Dough Circles: Knead each dough ball into flat circular shapes suitable for the air fryer basket size. It’s recommended to assemble pizza directly inside the air fryer basket to avoid handling difficulties later.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly distribute 1 1/2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each flattened dough circle, making sure to cover the surface for flavor.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce on both pizza bases to ensure good coverage and melting.
- Apply Toppings: Add your choice of favorite toppings evenly over the cheese, customizing each pizza to your taste.
- Air Fry: Cook the pizzas in the air fryer at 350°F for 12-15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking and achieve a golden crust with melted cheese.
Notes
- Assemble pizzas inside the air fryer basket to make transferring easier.
- Check the pizzas after 12 minutes to prevent burning or overcooking.
- Use fresh dough and quality toppings for best results.
- Customize toppings to accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions.
