Tips:

  • Choose the right dough: Fresh pizza dough is ideal, but store-bought dough can also work. If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
  • Preheat your air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to the highest temperature possible before cooking your pizza. This will help the pizza cook evenly and prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light coating of oil: Brush a light coating of olive oil or cooking spray onto the bottom of the pizza dough. This will help the pizza cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Add your toppings sparingly: Don't overload your pizza with toppings, as this can make it difficult to cook evenly. A few well-chosen toppings will do the trick.
  • Cook your pizza in batches: If you're making multiple pizzas, cook them in batches to ensure that each pizza gets cooked evenly.

Conclusion:

Making pizza in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious dish. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect air fryer pizzas that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. So next time you're craving pizza, give this air fryer recipe a try!
