Air fryer pizza

- Mozzarella cheese
- Olive oil spray
- Pepperoni
- Olives
- Any other pizza toppings
I like this pizza dough mix because all you need is hot water to turn out great in just a few minutes. This air fryer dinner recipe is something my older girls can make on their own, which they love.
- If you’re making Ninja Foodi pizza you could just use their air fryer basket instead of the springform pan. It won’t have a totally flat bottom because of the holes in the bottom but that’s no big deal. I like using the pan so everything stays in tact though.
Once your dough is the right consistency then you press it into your pan. Spraying with olive oil beforehand does help.
You’ll want to preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees for a few minutes now.
Then you’ll want to spray your raw dough with some olive oil spray and “bake” it a bit before you load it up with toppings.
Once that is done spread on some sauce, cheese and toppings and you’re set to melt those. Margherita pizza is my husband’s favorite pizza.
- Since these are just the right size for one everyone can personalize it with exactly what they love on their pie.
We have made Instant Pot pizza before but this way gets it nice and crispy. You can get the CrispLid to turn your Instant Pot into an air fryer. See which one you like. It’s our favorite meal.
Once it’s done slice it into thin slices and you have the most perfect little pepperoni pizza ever.

How do you keep the pepperonis on the pie mine keep getting blown off
The Typical Mom says
If they’re loose then they might. Just after the first minute or so open it up, press pepperoni on to slightly melted cheese and they’ll stay in place

For an even quicker pizza use flour tortillas for the crust one for thin crust two for thick crust moisten bottom tortilla with water so they stick together
