The Best Air Fryer Pizza
The Best Air Fryer Pizza is made by preparing small individual pizza bases topped with sauce and fresh mozzarella or burrata, cooked in an air fryer until the crust is golden and cheese just melts. This method produces a thin, airy crust with a crisp edge, balanced by creamy cheese and bright tomato sauce. The use of fresh basil completes the classic flavor combination.

Ingredients
- 4 pizza dough or store-bought, about 350g/12oz each, homemade, in balls
- 500 g pizza sauce or store-bought, homemade
- 4 mozzarella cheese or burrata cheese
- basil leaves
Instructions
- Roll each pizza dough ball on a clean lightly floured surface, and make a pizza base just large enough to fit your air fryer basket.
- Spread just enough pizza 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.
- Add mozzarella chunks or burrata chunks on top of the pizza base and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Remove the pizza from the air fryer, allow it to cool slightly, and serve.

Notes
- This recipe yields about four 8-inch pizzas, depending on air fryer basket size.
- Rolling the dough thin (up to ¼ inch) creates an airy, thin crust similar to Neapolitan pizza.
- Using baking paper under the pizza base helps with transfer and prevents sticking.
- Partially precook the pizza base for 3 minutes if a crisper crust is desired, then add sauce and toppings and continue cooking.
- Leftover pizzas can be frozen: first freeze on a baking sheet for 30 minutes, then store in ziplock bags for up to 3 months.
