What you’ll need
The Short Version
Step1
Preheat your air fryer to its maximum temperature
The first task here is to pre-heat your air fryer to its maximum possible temperature on its conventional ‘Air Fry’ setting. In our case, it was 210°C, although if yours only goes to 200°C or up to 230°C, that’s perfectly fine.
Step2
Roll the base out to your desired size, and add it onto the crisper plate
The next step is to roll the base out to the size you want and place it onto your air fryer’s crisper plate. Make sure to spray the crisper plate lightly with oil to make the dough easier to remove, and for crispier results. You’re best sticking to plain oil, as some cooking sprays have additives that don’t play nicely with air fryers.
Step3
Part-bake your base at your air fryer’s highest temperature for two and a half minutes
Next, program your air fryer to its maximum temperature and cook the base for two and a half minutes. This solidifies the dough and allows it to puff up.
Step4
Add your desired toppings
Once the base has been partially baked, take the basket out and assemble your pizza, adding base sauce and your desired toppings.
Step5
Cook at your air fryer’s highest temperature for a further six minutes
Now you’ve added your toppings, put your assembled pizza back in your air fryer basket and cook at your air fryer’s highest temperature for a further six minutes.
Step6
To reheat pizza once cooked, cook at 170°C for three minutes
If you want to reheat pizza slices, place in your air fryer basket and cook at 170°C for a few minutes. This will warm the pizza, making it crispy and as good as new.
