Air fryer pizza method
To make air fryer pizza you will need the following:
Step 1:Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil. This is to avoid the edges curling or catching.
Step 2:Spread 1 tbsp pizza sauce – you can also use tomato puree or sauce – over the middle of one tortilla and top with half of the cheese.
Step 3:Place the second tortilla on top and repeat with the remaining sauce and cheese.
Step 4:Top with slices of pepperoni and oregano.
Step 4:Lift and carefully position the pizza into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 375°F/195°C and cook the pizza for 5 minutes. If you like your cheese crispier, leave it in for another 5 minutes.
The air may move your toppings around so if you want them to stay in place, open the air fryer after a minute and move them if need be.
Step 5:Remove the pizza from the air fryer using a fish slice and while the pizza is still warm, cut and serve.
Air fryer pizza verdict
I’ve previously used tortilla wraps to makeair fryer garlic breadand this pizza recipe takes things up a notch.
Not only does it take less than 10 minutes from start to finish, but the two layers of cheese give the pizza an oozy, melt-in-the-mouth quality that you only usually get from takeout pizza.
What’s more, if you use low-fat cheese and tortilla wraps, this pizza is relatively low-calorie and can even be a great source of protein.
