Ingredients
1 unidade Massa de pizza pronta individual (15-20 cm de diâmetro)
2-3 colheres de sopa Molho de tomate de boa qualidade
100 g Queijo muçarela ralado ou fatiado
1 colher de chá Orégano seco
Um fio Azeite extra virgem (opcional)
Folhas Manjericão fresco para decorar (opcional)
Instructions
- Prepare a massa: If your ready-made pizza dough is too large for the air fryer basket, cut it to the appropriate size. If using fresh dough, you can pre-heat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3 minutes and pre-bake the dough for 2-3 minutes for a crispier base before adding the topping
- Spread the sauce: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Don't overdo the sauce to avoid making the 'pizza musarela air fryer' soggy
- Add the cheese: Distribute the grated or sliced mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Make sure to cover well to ensure the creaminess of your 'pizza musarela air fryer'
- Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano over the cheese. If desired, add other extra ingredients now
- Cook in the Air Fryer: Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 5 to 8 minutes. The time may vary depending on your air fryer's power and dough thickness. Keep an eye on it: the 'pizza musarela air fryer' will be ready when the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the dough are golden and crispy
- Serve: Remove the 'pizza musarela air fryer' from the air fryer with a spatula, cut into slices, and, if desired, decorate with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade 'pizza musarela air fryer'!
Notes
Do not overload: Avoid putting too much topping, especially cheese, as this can prevent the dough from cooking evenly and make the 'pizza musarela air fryer' soggy. Less is more for a perfect 'pizza musarela air fryer'.
Pre-heating: Always pre-heat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 180°C (350°F). This helps ensure the dough of the 'pizza musarela air fryer' starts cooking immediately, resulting in a crispier base.
Parchment paper: To prevent the dough from sticking and facilitate cleaning, place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of the air fryer basket before placing the 'pizza musarela air fryer'. Make sure the paper does not fly up and touch the heating element.
Dough size: If your air fryer is small, use individual doughs up to 15-20 cm (6-8 inches). If the dough is larger, cut it to fit without touching the sides.
Test for doneness: Monitor the 'pizza musarela air fryer' during cooking. Air fryers vary, so the exact time may be different. Check after 5 minutes and add more time, if necessary, until the cheese bubbles and the crust browns.
Storage: Let the 'pizza musarela air fryer' cool completely. Then, place the slices in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: Place the 'pizza musarela air fryer' slices in the pre-heated air fryer basket at 160°C (325°F). Heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts again and the crust becomes crispy. Avoid the microwave, as it makes the dough rubbery. The air fryer is the key to reheated 'pizza musarela air fryer' with freshly made quality.
