Craving pizza but short on time? With just two main ingredients, you can whip up a homemade pizza in your air fryer that’s quick, easy, and delicious. This recipe uses a simple yogurt-based dough and can be customised with your favourite toppings. Here’s how to do it.
Ingredients:
- 240g (1 cup) natural or Greek yogurt
- 350g (2 cups) self-raising flour (plus extra for rolling)
- Grated cheese (enough to sprinkle on 2 small pizzas)
- Pizza sauce or passata
- Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, pineapple, peppers, chicken, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and yogurt. Mix until the ingredients come together into a dough-like consistency. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s workable.
2. Divide and roll
Split the dough into two equal portions. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each portion into a pizza base shape. Don’t worry if it’s not a perfect circle – rustic is great!
3. Pre-cook the bases
Place each base on a piece of parchment paper and transfer to the air fryer basket. Cook at 200°C for 8-10 minutes, flipping the bases halfway through. This ensures a crispy, golden crust.
4. Add Your Toppings
Remove the pre-cooked bases from the air fryer. Spread a layer of pizza sauce or passata on each base, then sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Add your favourite toppings – whether it’s classic pepperoni, sweet pineapple, crunchy peppers, or juicy chicken.
5. Finish cooking
Return the pizzas to the air fryer basket and cook for another 3 minutes at 200°C (400°F), or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Tips for the perfect air fryer pizza:
- Use parchment paper: This prevents the dough from sticking and makes it easier to handle.
- Don’t overload with toppings: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and prevent even cooking.
- Experiment with flavours: Try adding garlic powder or mixed herbs to the dough for extra flavour.
