Cooking Tips
Air fryer pizza
These pizzas are super quick to put together, whether you make our speedy no-prove dough or use a naan or flatbread as a base. Ideal as a WFH lunch or speedy dinner on busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 400g tin plum tomatoes
- 300g/10½oz self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 300g/10½oz plain yoghurt
- 4 sprays olive oil spray
- toppings of your choice, such as olives, sliced red onion, artichoke or ham (optional)
- 200g/7oz firm mozzarella cheese, grated
- rocket leaves, to serve (optional)
Method
-
Empty the tomatoes into a sieve over a bowl and squish them with a spoon or your hands to break them up slightly. Set aside to drain for 10 minutes. (The drained juice can be used for another recipe – see Recipe Tip.) Set aside the drained tomatoes in a bowl.
-
Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the yoghurt and mix with a knife or your hands to form a soft dough. Divide into four pieces.
-
Roll each piece out on a well-floured surface to a circle that fits in the air fryer (this will be around 20cm/8in in diameter for a 5.5 litre/9½ pint single basket air fryer).
-
Preheat the air fryer to 205C. Lay one pizza base on the rack of the air fryer and spray with olive oil spray once, then prick with a fork a few times. Cook for 3 minutes. Remove, flip over and return to the air-fryer for another 2 minutes.
-
Take out the basket, place on a wooden board and spread a quarter of the drained tomatoes over the pizza. Add your choice of toppings, followed by a quarter of the mozzarella. Any toppings that need to cook (such as onion slices) should go on top of the cheese so that they meet the heat first.
-
Cook for 4 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the base is crispy. Remove and repeat with the remaining pizzas. Top each pizza with rocket leaves (if using) and serve.
