Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. The water should be around 110°F (43°C) to activate the yeast properly.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes. The dough should become smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes until it doubles in size.
- After rising, punch down the dough to release air bubbles and divide it into two equal portions for two pizzas.
- Roll out each portion on a floured surface into a circular shape that fits your airfryer basket, approximately 8-9 inches in diameter.
- Preheat the airfryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes before placing the pizza dough.
- Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the airfryer basket, add your preferred toppings, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
- Remove the pizza from the airfryer, let it cool for 2-3 minutes, slice, and serve hot.
Tips
- Water Temperature Matters: Ensure your water is precisely warm (around 110°F) to activate the yeast perfectly without killing it.
- Kneading Technique: Don't rush the kneading process. A full 8-10 minutes develops the gluten, giving your crust that ideal chewy texture.
- Resting is Crucial: Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area to help it develop flavor and proper texture.
- Thin is In: Roll the dough thin for a crispier crust that cooks evenly in the airfryer.
- Preheating is Key: Always preheat your airfryer to ensure an even, crispy cook.
- Don't Overload Toppings: Use a light hand with toppings to prevent soggy pizza and ensure even cooking.
- Check Early: Airfryers can cook faster than traditional ovens, so start checking your pizza at the 5-minute mark to prevent burning.
