Air Fryer Pizza Recipe
With this easy air fryer pizza recipe, you can make the most delicious thin and crispy pizza right in your air fryer.
Servings: 2 pieces
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 3.5 grams active dry yeast ½ packet
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 80 ml lukewarm water
Toppings
- 3 tbsp pizza sauce
- Cheese such as mozzarella
- Toppings of your choice such as pepperoni, onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper
Equipment
- Air fryer
Instructions
- Add all the dough ingredients to a bowl and knead for 10–15 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Continue kneading by hand until the dough passes the windowpane test. To do this, take a small piece of dough and gently stretch it apart. It should become very thin and almost transparent, like a piece of chewing gum, without tearing.
- Lightly grease a bowl with oil and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into two portions and roll each one into a thin crust. It doesn't matter if they're round or rectangular, as long as they fit in your air fryer basket.
- You can bake the pizza directly in the air fryer basket (make sure the bottom is well dusted with flour) or on a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the basket.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each crust and cook for 8 minutes in the air fryer. If using parchment paper, remove it halfway through cooking if possible, as leaving it in may prevent the bottom from crisping properly.
- Add your favorite toppings. I used mozzarella and pepperoni. Return the pizzas to the preheated air fryer and cook for another 2-4 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
