Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 homemade pizza dough balls or store-bought, about 350 g/12 oz each
  • 500 ghomemade pizza sauce or store-bought
  • 4 mozzarella or burrata cheese
  • basil leaves

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Spatula
  • clean surface

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
  2. On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a pizza base just large enough to fit your air fryer basket, leaving a small border for the crust.
  3. Divide the 500 g pizza sauce evenly among the four bases and spread each sauce layer on its base, leaving the border uncovered.
  4. If your air fryer basket only fits one pizza, cook the pizzas one at a time; otherwise arrange as many as fit without overlapping.
  5. Place a prepared pizza in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C for about 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
  6. While the pizza cooks (or just after removing it), tear or cut one mozzarella or burrata into pieces and place the pieces over the pizza.
  7. Return the pizza to the air fryer and cook an additional 1–2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  8. Remove the pizza from the air fryer with a spatula, top with basil leaves, allow to cool slightly, and serve.

Notes

Mypizza dough recipemakes about 4 8-inch-sized pizzas, depending on your air fryer.
For a thin base with an airy crust (like the 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 canprecook the pizza base for 3 minutesif you like, then add tomato sauce and all the toppings and continue to cook the pizza for further 6 minutes.
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.
