Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1 lb pizza dough (450 g), divided in half
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour (for dusting)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Dried basil, to taste
  • 2 pepperoni sticks, sliced
  • Other toppings of choice (optional)
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Divide the 1 lb pizza dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out one half to about 1/4 inch thickness, shaping it to fit your air fryer basket size.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Pizza Crust: Place the rolled-out dough carefully into the air fryer basket. Drizzle olive oil over the surface and brush it evenly with a silicone brush. Air fry the crust for about 5 minutes or until it turns golden and slightly crisp.
  4. Add Toppings: Remove the basket and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the golden crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously, then add sliced pepperoni and dried basil, along with any other desired toppings.
  5. Final Cook: Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on the cheese to ensure it melts and turns golden without burning.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer. Slice and serve hot for a delicious homemade air fryer pizza experience.

Notes

  • Make sure to preheat the air fryer for best results and even cooking.
  • Use a silicone brush for easy and even application of olive oil on the crust.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly based on your air fryer model and thickness of dough.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings such as vegetables, meats, or herbs.
  • To make crispier crust, you can precook the crust slightly longer before adding toppings.
