Put your air fryer to work making delicious deep dish pizzas. It’s easy to double or triple the recipe to make more.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp yeast
- 1/2 tsp caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup tomato pizza sauce
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 10 slices pepperoni
- 1 slice ham, diced
- 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs
Method
-
Step 1In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water and olive oil. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and knead for 5 minutes. Alternatively, combine ingredients in a bowl, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead well for 8-10 minutes until dough is springy and pliable. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for an hour until dough has doubled in size.
-
Step 2Roll dough out into an approximately 25cm circle. Drape into an 18cm loose bottom cake tin (ensure that it fits into the basket of your air fryer first!) Press dough into the tin with the excess folded over so that the dough comes up the sides with a double thickness. Place into the basket of your air fryer and cook for 5 minutes at 180C.
-
Step 3Remove from air fryer and cover base with tomato sauce. Sprinkle over half the cheese and half the meat, then remaining cheese and finish with remaining meat. Return to air fryer and cook for a further 5 minutes at 180C. Remove and check that the dough is cooked through, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes if required.

Step 4Garnish pizza with dried herbs, slice and serve.
Recipe Notes
+ 1 hr proving.
Find a loose-bottom cake tin that fits into your air fryer basket. I used an 18cm quiche tin with 4cm high sides, but you may be able to fit a 20cm tin for a bigger pizza.
Par-cook the pizza base before adding your fillings otherwise you will end up with soggy dough.
