Ingredients

  • 1 can of pizza crust dough
  • 1 cup of pizza sauce
  • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup of sliced pepperoni
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Roll out the pizza crust dough on a floured surface until it's similar to the size of your air fryer basket. 
  • Spray cooking spray on the air fryer basket and place the rolled-out dough inside the basket. 
  • Brush oil on the entire pizza dough and then air fry it at 400 degrees F for 3-4 minutes.
  • Turn the crisped-up dough over. Brush with oil and air fry it for another 3 minutes.
  • Spread pizza sauce over the crispy crust, leaving a small border around the edges. 
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce and add pepperoni slices over the cheese. 
  • Cook the pizza for 3 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 
  • Use a pair of tongs or spatula to carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer basket and let it cool for 5 minutes. 
  • Garnish the pizza with basil leaves and cut the pizza into slices and serve.
