Precooking the crust

After precooking the crust, you can add your toppings. It's more efficient to keep the crust in the air fryer while you do this, but if your air fryer has a front-opening door, you may find it easier to assemble the pizza outside of the fryer.

Once you've added your toppings, return the pizza to the air fryer basket and cook for a further 5 minutes.

You can use fresh pizza dough, your own recipe, or store-bought dough. If you're using pita or naan, you can skip the precooking step as these are already prebaked.
