What You’ll Need
The great thing about pizza night is you can go crazy with lots of toppings, or keep it simple with just cheese if you want! Let’s take a look at what I used for my recipe.
- pizza dough– I like to pick up pizza dough from Trader Joe’s when time is short. I also have an easy homemade pizza dough recipe too.
- pizza sauce– Use your favorite pasta sauce, pizza sauce or marinara sauce.
- shredded mozzarella cheese– Pick up shredded mozzarella cheese or even better, try fresh mozzarella.
- pepperoni– Use your favorite pepperoni’s for the pizza. Trader Joe’s has one of my favorite pepperoni’s.
How To Make Pizza In Air Fryer
Divide Pizza Dough. Divide a 16 ounce package of prepared pizza dough into three equal pieces. Press each piece of dough into personal pan size rounds. You want to make sure each round will fit in the basket of your air fryer. Note- each air fryer varies slightly in size.
Preheat Air Fryer 375-380 Degrees F. I like to preheat my air fryer for at least 3 minutes before putting my pizza in.
Brush Pizza Dough With Oil and Partially Cook. Working in batches, place one pizza dough round into a parchment paper lined air fryer basket. Brush top with olive oil and cook at 375-380 degrees F. for 3 minutes.
Add Toppings To Pizza. Spoon pizza sauce onto pizza dough, spreading evenly leaving a small border around edges. Top with cheese then pepperoni. From here, you can add whatever pizza toppings you’d like!
Cook Pizza. Cook pizza at 375-380 degrees F. for 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted, golden, and crust is cooked.
I am telling you, this personal pan size pizza in the air fryer is so perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious! Use a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors to cut pizza into wedges.
Recipe Tips For Success
- Let refrigerated pizza dough sit room temperature for about 15 minutes to make it easy to roll into rounds.
