Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Pizza dough store bought or homemade (make sure that each pizza dough will fit in your sized air fryer)
  • 12 tablespoon Pizza sauce store bought or homemade – feel free to add more or less depending on your preference!
  • 12 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 4 teaspoon fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
  • 4 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional

Instructions

  • Roll your pizza dough (about 2 oz) on a lightly floured surface until you reach your desired thinness. Make sure that the circumference of your dough will fit in your air fryer.
  • Add parchment paper to your air fryer as some air fryers are not evenly flat, and your dough won’t cook flat, nor evenly.
  • Add your rolled-out pizza dough to your air fryer. Cook the dough for 3 minutes at 370 degrees.
  • Once the time is complete, keep in the air fryer to add your toppings as it is easier than transferring in and out.
  • Add 3 tablespoon pizza sauce and spread evenly on your dough.
  • Distribute your sliced mozzarella evenly on the sauce.
  • Cook again for 5 minutes at 370 degrees.
  • Once complete, remove your pizza from the air fryer. Add your basil, and red peppers.
