- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Pizza Dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Shape and Size:
- Shape the dough to fit the size of your air fryer basket or tray. If you’re using an air fryer oven, you may need to cut the dough to fit.
- Precook the Dough:
- Lightly brush the dough with olive oil. Place it in the air fryer for about 3-5 minutes to precook the crust. This helps ensure the crust cooks evenly.
- Add Sauce and Toppings:
- Remove the partially cooked dough from the air fryer. Spread pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and add your favorite toppings.
- Cook Pizza:
- Return the pizza to the air fryer and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the crust is golden brown. Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on it.
- Serve:
- Once the pizza is cooked to your liking, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Optional: Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Enjoy your homemade air fryer pizza! Feel free to get creative with the toppings and customize it to suit your taste.
