  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 small pizzas

Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 1 ball Pizza dough

Cheese

  • 4 1/2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese

Sauce and Toppings

  • 15 oz Pizza Sauce
  • Desired pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, olives, mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) to prepare it for cooking the pizza crust evenly.
  2. Prepare Crust: Roll the pizza dough out very thin, less than ¼ inch thick. Prick the dough all over with a fork to help it bake flat and prevent bubbling.
  3. Air Fry the Crust: Lightly spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Carefully lift and place the rolled dough in the basket. Cook at 400°F for 1 minute, then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute more. Check after 30 seconds to ensure the dough doesn’t fold or flip unintentionally. Repeat for remaining crusts if making multiple pizzas.
  4. Add Toppings: Spread pizza sauce over the pre-baked crusts, add your favorite toppings, and finish with shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Adding the cheese last helps secure lighter toppings during cooking.
  5. Cook Topped Pizzas: Lower the air fryer temperature to 370°F (188°C). Cook the pizzas for 1-3 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese has melted. You may open the basket to check the progress.

Notes

  • The recipe yield is about 8 small pizzas from one homemade pizza dough ball.
  • Make homemade pizza dough the night before and refrigerate covered to allow it to rise slowly.
  • You can make homemade pizza sauce several days in advance and store it refrigerated.
  • To freeze pizzas, pre-bake crusts, add toppings, then flash freeze on a baking sheet for 30 minutes. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For frozen pizzas, preheat air fryer to 370°F and cook for 6-8 minutes until cheese melts and crust is crispy.
  • Store-bought pizza crusts (Boboli or flatbread) can be used by skipping the crust baking step and cooking the topped pizza at 370°F until cheese melts and crust crisps.
  • To reheat leftover pizza, preheat air fryer to 370°F and cook for 2-3 minutes until hot and crispy.
