1
|
Roll your pizza dough (about 2 ounces) on a lightly floured surface until you reach your desired thinness. Make sure that the circumference of your dough will fit in your air fryer.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Dough First 🎯Pat your pizza dough with paper towels before placing it in the air fryer to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier crust and preventing sogginess.
- Pre-Cook the Base 🔥Air fry the dough alone for 3-4 minutes at 400°F before adding toppings to create a sturdy, pre-crispy foundation that prevents a wet bottom.
- Add Mozzarella Last ⏱️Tear fresh mozzarella into small pieces and scatter on top during the final 2-3 minutes of cooking so it melts perfectly without becoming tough or rubbery.
- Maximize Red Pepper Flavor 🌶️Lightly char your red pepper slices in the air fryer for 2 minutes before adding them as toppings to intensify their sweetness and add depth to the classic Margherita profile.
- Basil as a Finishing Touch 🌿Add fresh basil leaves only after the pizza comes out of the air fryer, allowing the residual heat to gently soften them while preserving their vibrant color and aromatic brightness.
