Air fryer pizza is a quick and easy snack. It is perfect for summer days when you do not want to turn on the oven. You can make pizza from scratch and with your favorite toppings. Check out this air fryer pizza recipe with a crispy crust and crunchy texture.
In the stand mixer bowl add water, oil, salt, sugar, all-purpose flour, and yeast.
Knead the dough with the dough hook attachment on setting 2 for about 12 minutes.
Once the dough attaches to the dough hook, the dough is well kneaded.
Remove the dough from the hook and make a ball.
Apply some oil to the bottom of the bowl and place the dough ball inside the bowl.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours.
Make pizza base
Punch and take the dough out from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface for a few seconds.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts of about 90 grams each and roll one part on a floured surface to form a 3-4 millimeter thick pizza base.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Apply some olive oil on the pizza base with a basting brush.
Place the pizza base in the air fryer basket.
Air fry pizza base for 3 minutes at 400°F.
Once the pizza base is well cooked and is slightly golden brown in color, take it out of the air fryer.
Make pizza in the air fryer
Apply pizza sauce, toppings, herbs, and mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pizza in a preheated air fryer at 400°F for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and becomes golden brown in color.
Remove the pizza from the air fryer and repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
Notes
If you are using frozen pizza dough, you can let the dough thaw at room temperature and then follow the remaining process to roll the dough, make the pizza base, and finally bake the pizza in the air fryer.
