Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz prepared pizza dough thawed if frozen
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes
- 2 oz fresh mozzarella pearls or cut into small pieces
- 1 oz shredded Italian cheese blend
- Fresh basil for topping
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350 ℉
- Roll out prepared pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick
- Drizzle dough with oil, then spread tomatoes over dough and top with cheeses
- Place pizza in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes or until crust is lightly browned, cheese is melted, and it has just a few crispy spots
- Cut 2-3 leaves of basil into tiny strips and add to the top of pizza
- Let pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer (best option) at 350 ℉ for 3–4 minutes to get a crisp crust, or use the oven or microwave.
- To avoid moving fragile dough, assemble the pizza directly in the air fryer basket.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the other toppings to hold everything in place during cooking.
