We all love a golden brown pizza, and it's even better when it's homemade, or should I say semi-homemade. Using refrigerated crust, the hassle and time are both cut way down with this recipe.

Air Fryer Pizza

I love making homemade pizza, especially using this recipe. Using a storebought dough means I don't have to proof, mix, or knead. I can just put on the toppings and pop it in the air fryer!

Tips:

  • If you use sausage or another type of uncured meat on your pizza, cook it first to prevent a soggy, greasy slice.
