Can you cook pizzas in an air fryer?

Roll the pizza dough on a clean lightly floured surface, and make a pizza base just large enough to fit your air fryer basket. Spread just enough marinara sauce on top of the base, leaving a border. Place the pizza in the air fryer, and cook at 375 C / 180 C for 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden.

Switch between the grill plate for sizzling steaks, chicken, corn hobs, veggies, and anything else you can think of with grill marks, and the flat plate, for sauteeing fish and seafood or cooking sunny side up eggs. It also comes with Smart Cook System, meaning you can make perfectly cooked steaks and fish!

BAKE

Yes, you can bake in it! It comes with adjustable temperature and time, so you can safely bake cookies and cakes. I made a batch of Italian butter cookies and my favorite carrot cake and they both baked perfectly.

Cheese: use homemade mozzarella, store-bought mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, or my favorite option, burrata cheese. If using fresh mozzarella, make sure you pat it dry with kitchen paper to absorb the water in excess.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA IN THE AIR FRYER

Making pizza in the air fryer is a pretty easy and straightforward process that takes literally no more than 10 minutes. Here is what you need to do:

STEP 1

Roll the pizza dough on a clean lightly floured surface, and make a pizza base just large enough to fit your air fryer basket.

STEP 2

Spread just enough marinara sauce on top of the base, leaving a border.

STEP 3

Place the pizza in the air fryer, and cook at 375 C / 180 C for 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden.

STEP 4

Remove the pizza from the air fryer, allow it to cool slightly, and serve. CAN YOU FREEZE LEFTOVER PIZZA? Yes, you can! After you have baked your pizza, you can freeze the leftovers. Place leftover pizzas on a baking sheet, freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer in ziplock bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. AIR FRYER PIZZA TIPS My pizza dough recipe makes about 3-4x 8-inch-sized pizzas, depending on your air fryer. For a Neapolitan pizza roll the dough very thin or up to ¼ inch. This is optional, but I like to place a small round sheet of baking paper under the pizza base before transferring it to the air fryer. You can precook the pizza base for 3 minutes if you like, then add tomato sauce and all the toppings and continue to cook the pizza for further 6 minutes. if you like, then add tomato sauce and all the toppings and continue to cook the pizza for further 6 minutes. Although optional, after your pizza is ready, finish off with a swirl of good extra-virgin olive oil right before serving.
