Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 pizza dough rounds

*This depends on how big the dough is, mine was pretty big so I got 2 pizzas out of it.

    TOMATO PEPPERONI PIZZA

      FOR THE SAUCE

      • ½ cup tomato puree (passata)
      • ½-1 teaspoon oregano
      • ½ teaspoon basil
      • ¼ teaspoon salt

      EXTRAS

      • 8-10 slices pepperoni
      • ½ cup shredded firm mozzarella
      • 4-5 fresh basil leaves to top the baked pizza (optional)

      SAUSAGE MUSHROOM PIZZA

      • 1 tablespoon olive oil
      • 1 clove garlic minced
      • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
      • 2 Italian sausages (casing removed and broken into pieces)
      • ½ teaspoon oregano
      • ½ teaspoon parsley (or 2 teaspoons fresh finely chopped)
      • ¼ teaspoon salt (more or less depending on how salty the sausage is)
      • ¼ cup water

      EXTRAS

      • ¼ cup shredded firm mozzarella
      • ½ cup fresh arugula chopped (optional)

      Instructions
       

      • I used both a pizza pan made for the air fryer and foil that I placed on the bottom of the air fryer.
      • Lightly spray the pan or foil with olive oil. Fit the unrolled pizza dough evenly in the pan or on the foil. Prick the dough well with the tongs of a fork. Spray the dough lightly with olive oil.

      FOR THE SAUCE

      • While the dough is baking, in a small bowl combine the tomato puree/passata, oregano, basil and salt.

      FOR THE SAUSAGE MUSHROOM PIZZA

      • In a medium/large pan add the oil, garlic, mushrooms, sausage, oregano, parsley, salt and water. Cover and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, remove the lid and keep cooking on medium heat until water has evaporated and the mushroom and sausage are cooked.
      • Bake the dough for 3 minutes at 375F / 195C, on the pre cooked dough spread the sauce or mushroom sausage mixture and bake again for 5 minutes at 400F/200C. Top the pizza with the shredded cheese and bake again 400F/200C for 3-4 minutes or until cheese has melted. Carefully remove the pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy!

      Notes

      If you have leftover pizza, reheating it in the air fryer is easy. Heat it for a few minutes at 350°F and then check on it. If it’s not warmed through, add a few more minutes.
