Description

1. Divide 1 pound pizza dough into 8 (2-ounce) pieces. If refrigerated, let sit on the counter until room temperature, at least 30 minutes.

2. Heat an air fryer to 375°F.

3. Press each piece of pizza dough into a round up to 6 1/2-inches wide, or 1/2 inch smaller than the size of your air fryer basket.

4. Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray and carefully transfer one round of dough into the basket. (The basket will be warm.) Gently press the dough to the edges of the basket without touching the sides. Spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto the dough, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the shredded cheese and top with any desired toppings.

5. Air fry until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

6. Carefully lift the pizza out of the air fryer basket with tongs or a spatula. Place on a cutting board and cut into wedges. Serve immediately and repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
