Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- ¾ cup warm water 110 degrees F
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 ⅛ teaspoons dry yeast
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Assembly
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Stir together warm water and yeast in a large bowl.
- Allow the yeast to proof for five minutes or until the top is bubbly.
- Once the five minutes are up, add in the sugar, flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast and mix until fully combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer use the dough hook to knead the dough for five minutes on medium speed. You could also knead the dough by hand on a floured surface for ten minutes.
- Oil a large bowl and add the dough ball. Cover with a lightweight towel and allow the dough to rise for 2 hours or until it is doubled in size.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degree F.
- Meanwhile, divide the dough ball into two equal sections.
- Roll out the first section of dough with a rolling pin until it is about 8 inches in diameter.
- Grease a metal pie plate or cake pan with one tablespoon of butter.
- Transfer the rolled out dough to the pan and press it into the pan.
- Cook the dough for five minutes at 380 degrees F in the air fryer.
- After the five minutes are up, spread one tablespoon of butter, 3/4 cup cheese, and 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning on the dough.
- And then, cook for another 5 minutes.
- Repeat the steps for the second dough ball.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Make sure that the water you use for the yeast is warm and not too hot. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. Aim for water that is about 110 degrees F.
- Don't forget to oil the bowl as this prevents the dough from sticking to the bowl.
- For extra flavor you could top these with more parmesan cheese and fresh parsley when you remove from the air fryer.
- Instead of regular butter, you could use garlic butter for more flavor.
- Serve them with your favorite dips like marinara sauce, or ranch dressing.
- Add a little protein by topping with pepperoni before you air fry for the second time.
- Make sure that your pan fits into your air fryer basket before you start to make this recipe.
