Crispy Air Fryer Pepperoni Pizza

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Pepperoni Pizza.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your air fryer to a toasty 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. Step 2

   To ensure your pizza doesn’t stick, lightly mist the air fryer basket with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

3. Step 3

   Next, take the pizza dough from its packaging and divide it into two equal portions.

4. Step 4

   Shape each piece into a circle, crimping the edges to create a delightful crust that fits snugly in your air fryer basket.

5. Step 5

   Gently place one of the pizza crusts into the basket and give the top a light spray of olive oil.

6. Step 6

   To prevent any bubbling, use a fork to prick the dough, then precook it for 3 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once that’s done, spread 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the crust, followed by half of the mozzarella cheese.

8. Step 8

   Layer on 7 slices of pepperoni and, if you like, add half of the onion slices.

9. Step 9

   For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some dried basil and red pepper flakes on top.

10. Step 10

    Cook your pizza in the air fryer for 7 to 9 minutes, keeping a watchful eye until the crust turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is perfectly melted.

11. Step 11

    Once it’s done, repeat the process with the second crust.

12. Step 12

    Serve your homemade air fryer pizza hot and savor every delicious bite!.
