Ingredients:
- 1 package pizza dough
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1-2 cups pizza sauce
- 1-2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Optional Toppings:
- 1 cup pepperoni
- ¼ cup olives sliced
- ½ cup tomatoes diced
- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 10 leaves basil
Instructions:
- Spread the pizza dough flat on a cutting board. Cut into 12 circles with a cookie cutter or rim of a cup. Alternatively, cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Brush the air fryer basket or tray lightly with olive oil and place dough circles on the basket.
- Optional: Mix the melted butter with the parsley, salt, and garlic powder. Brush the pizza dough circles with the butter sauce.
- Add about 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce, then 1 tablespoon of cheese. Add your favorite toppings.
- Air fry at 375° Fahrenheit and cook for 5-6 minutes, until cheese is golden brown. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Brush the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil so the dough doesn’t stick. You can also sprinkle a little cornmeal on top of the oil for extra protection against stuck dough!
- Remove from the basket using a spatula, not tongs. But first, let them rest a minute or two in the basket or tray.
- Use the air fryer basket or tray with the holes so that the pizza dough crisps up on the bottom and the pizza cooks evenly. I don’t recommend lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Storing: store in the fridge wrapped in aluminum foil for up to 3 days. They can be frozen for up to 6 months.
- Reheating: in the air fryer from the fridge for 1-2 minutes. Reheat directly from the freezer for 4-5 minutes to completely defrost and warm through.
