Equipment
- Skillet
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 balls Homemade pizza dough or store-bought, about 350g/12oz each
- 500 g Homemade pizza sauce or store-bought
- 4 Mozzarella or burrata cheese
- Basil leaves
Instructions
- Roll each pizza dough ball on a clean lightly floured surface, and make a pizza base just large enough to fit your air fryer basket.
- Spread just enough pizza sauce on top of the base, leaving a border.
- Place the pizza in the air fryer, and cook at 375 C / 180 C for 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
- Add mozzarella chunks or burrata chunks on top of the pizza base and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Remove the pizza from the air fryer, allow it to cool slightly, and serve.
Notes
- Tip 1: Your pizza dough recipe makes about 4 8-inch-sized pizzas, depending on your air fryer.
- Tip 2: For a thin base with an airy crust (like the Neapolitan pizza), roll the dough very thin or up to ¼ inch.
- Tip 3: It’s optional, but consider placing a small round sheet of baking paper under the pizza base before transferring it to the air fryer.
- Tip 4: You can precook the pizza base for 3 minutes if you like, then add pizza sauce and all the toppings and continue to cook the pizza for a further 6 minutes.
- Tip 5: After you have baked your pizza, you can freeze the leftovers. Place leftover pizzas on a baking sheet, freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer them into ziplock bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
