Air Fryer Pizza Recipes

Air fryer pizza recipe - it only takes 30 minutes to make and the dough only needs 2 simple ingredients. I made mine in the Ninja Foodi XL.

Air fryer pizza recipe! Did you know that your air fryer is basically a mini pizza oven? Not only does it result in a super crispy finish, but it cooks fast, meaning this recipe only takes 30 mins from start to finish.

Air fryer pizza recipe, anyone? This isn’t something I expected to be making in my air fryer… but after one bite, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to making this in the oven! Best of all, the dough doesn’t need any yeast or proving, making this one a total doddle.

Of course, we’ve done air fryer chips, chicken tenders, buttermilk chicken and even cooked frozen oven-food in it too. It just makes dinner times so much more straightforward and quick… and healthier too on most occasions!

We have a gas-fire, portable pizza oven but as it’s winter at the mo, it’s sadly resigned to the garage for now. Who knew our air fryer could do an extremely similar job?!

The base is SUPER crispy and because the air fryer blasts lots of hot air in a confined space, the crust puffs up wonderfully. I used to avoid eating the crust as a kid, now it seems to be the best part!

How To Make Pizza In The Air Fryer

But most importantly, the air fryer does such an amazing job when it comes to cooking the topping. Our pizzas literally looked like they came out of the pizza oven!!

And if I can make this, then you definitely can. So get your air fryers preheated and let’s do this… Ok, maybe don’t preheat it this early!

So I thought I’d kick things off with a little frequently asked questions section – if you just want the recipe, then keep scrolling.

But I’ve thrown in some tips here that will be really helpful if this is your first time making this, or you want to adapt it. So here they are!

Bear in mind that minimising cross-contamination is hugely important if you’re Coeliac or making this for someone who is. Here’s some tips from Coeliac UK on minimising the risk of cross contamination.

Also, make sure that all ingredients used don’t have any gluten-containing ingredients. Then make sure that they also don’t have a ‘may contain’ warning for gluten, wheat, rye, barley, oats (which aren’t gf), spelt and khorasan wheat (aka Kamut).

How To Reheat Pizza In An Air Fryer (perfectly!)

Yep, this recipe is dairy free! Simply use dairy free yoghurt – I often use Koko dairy free plain yoghurt to make this recipe and you’d never know the difference.

Yes! Just read the dairy-free advice above and you’ll have made it vegan too. Just make sure all your toppings are vegan too.

Yep, this is a nut-free recipe as far as ingredients go, BUT make sure you check the ingredients label on ALL the products you use just to be safe.

Even if the products don’t contain nuts, they may have a ‘may contain nuts’ warning due to being produced in a factory that handles nuts.

Yes! You can easily make this low FODMAP by using lactose free plain or greek yoghurt – that way, it’s suitable for the elimination phase of the FODMAP diet and all other phases too.

Of course, ensure all your toppings are low FODMAP too – I actually use this pepperoni from Sainsbury’s which has no onion or garlic.

Air Fryer Frozen Pizza Recipe How To Air Fry

I use the Ninja Foodi Max (also known as the Ninja Foodi XL) which is not only an air fryer, but a health grill too (shown in the photo below).

Of course, though I use this specific machine, any air fryer will do! Just remember that they all vary slightly so keep in mind that:

Of course, I can whole heartedly recommend mine (link here) – it’s amazing! But of course, the decision is entirely up to you.

Air Fryer Naan Pizza

Mine is more expensive as it has the health grill aspect too (it basically doubles up as a George Foreman which is awesome when we can’t BBQ in the winter months). It’s also a little on the larger size due to the extra grill function.

But whatever you buy, I’d recommending getting one that has around a 4 litre capacity. You simply can’t cook much in anything smaller and you’ll end up having to cook everything in loads of small batches!

Well, since you don’t need oil to fry pizza in the first place, cooking this in the air fryer doesn’t make this recipe any healthier than any other method of cooking pizza.

Frozen Pizza In Air Fryer

However, it is much faster than the oven if you cook it in the air fryer. An air fryer generally yields better results as it ‘blasts’ the pizza with hot air, similar to how a pizza oven would!

It’s totally up to you. I’d recommend using a lovely, thick Greek yoghurt – that’s what I use to make this recipe.

Yes you can! In that case, I’d recommend following my regular gluten-free pizza recipe which you can find over here – it’s just easier!

Well, because it actually acts very similar to a pizza oven! A pizza oven cooks extremely quickly due to super hot temperatures, giving your pizza an ultra crisp finish.

Whilst an air fryer doesn’t reach the crazy temperatures of a pizza oven, it does still yield very similar results. That’s because the air fryer ‘blasts’ hot air in a very confined space, resulting in very quick cooking and a perfectly crisp finish.

Firstly, it’s supposed to be a little sticky as a formed dough in the bowl. As long as you’re able to bring it together into a ball, when you start rolling it out on a floured surface, the extra flour should make sure it doesn’t stick to your surface, hands or rolling pin.

The Perfect Air Fryer Pizza Recipe

There’s only two main ingredients here (yoghurt and gf flour) so measuring them out correctly is really important. It’ll stop you from adding in too much yoghurt in the first place and making the dough too wet!

But of course, if you have added too much yoghurt by accident, you can always just add a little extra flour until it’s the correct consistency.

If the dough seems a little crumbly in the bowl, get it out of the bowl and knead it on a floured surface first before adding any extra wet ingredients.

This will ensure that it’s truly combined and there isn’t any yoghurt not properly mixed in at the centre of the dough. If it’s too crumbly to form a dough ball, then simply add a little extra yoghurt to compensate.

Of course! Just hit the print button located on the recipe below ?? (otherwise you might end up printing this entire post which would probably make your printer go into early retirement)

Add your yoghurt, flour and salt into a bowl and mix together. I initially just do this with a spatula and then as it starts to come together I use my hands to ensure it’s all pushed into a big ball. Knead it a little so its smooth – the dough should not be sticky.

The size of your air fryer basket will determine how big your pizza bases can be. Cut your dough into likely 2 pieces (or 3 if your air fryer basket is small).

Roll out one portion on lightly floured non stick baking paper until fairly thin (mine is usually under half a cm thick). Roll it out to be a similar shape to your air fryer basket so that it will fit comfortably. You can cut around the edge of your dough if you want neat edges and so that it fits.

Transfer your pizza base to a fresh piece of non stick baking paper (not floured) ready to place into the air fryer.

Air Fryer Frozen Pizza

Once heated lift up your baking paper and pizza base. Place it into the air fryer and cook for about 6 minutes until the top side is slightly golden. Cooking times may slightly vary depending on your air fryer!

After 6 minutes, remove the base from the air fryer using the baking paper to lift it out. Flip the base over and cover with your pizza sauce, leaving just over a 1cm gap around the edge.

Cover with mozzarella and any other toppings you wish. Finish with a little sprinkling of dried oregano – trust me, it’s awesome!

Keto Air Fryer Pizza

Place back into the air fryer at 200C for a further 3-4 minutes until the pizza is done – the base should be nicely coloured and the cheese melted and golden in places.
