- Remove the pizza from the air fryer and sprinkle over the 100 g grated mozzarella cheese and 1 tbsp oregano.
- Return to the air fryer and cook at 430°F / 220°C for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Finish with 8 basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Use 00 Flour for Better Texture: I like using 00 flour because it gives the pizza a softer airy texture while still creating crisp edges in the air fryer.
Keep the Sauce Light: Too much sauce can make the center heavy and stop the crust from crisping properly, so I always spread a thin, even layer.
Let the Dough Rise Until Airy: I wait until the dough looks bubbly and puffed up because that long rise develops flavor naturally without kneading.
Storage: I keep leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat slices in the air fryer for a few minutes to bring back the crispy crust.
