How do you make the bottom of a pizza crispy in an air fryer? ›

Soggy pizza crust in the air fryer is often due to insufficient preheating and air circulation. To enjoy a crispy crust, make sure to preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) before cooking. Here's a tip: First, cook the dough until it's golden. Then, flip and add sauce and toppings.

The Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven does everything a typical air fryer does while doubling as a toaster oven. It can even fit a 13-inch pizza, which makes it the perfect air fryer for nights in.

Yes! An air fryer does a great job baking a pizza! Use a little less heat and a little less time than you normally would. (If you set an oven to 400 degrees, set the air fryer to 350 degrees, and set the timer 7 to 15 minutes less) Keep you eye on your meal until you get the settings correct for what you are making!

Preheat it thoroughly — at least an hour before baking — and it will still be able to deliver a significant blast of heat to the bottom of your crust, enabling it to brown at a nice rate. If you don't have a baking steel or stone, you can bake your pizza on a preheated metal half-sheet pan.

If your air fryer doesn't have a bottom heating element, your pizza's bottom crust will need help browning. Thin-crust pizzas can be flipped before adding their toppings (see above), transferring their browned top crust to the bottom: problem solved!

Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.

Set your air fryer to 350°F. The cooking time ultimately depends on the pizza's size and shape. For a thin crust, air fry for three minutes; for a thick crust, air fry for four minutes. Remove the pizza from the air fryer using tongs.

Yes, and here's what you need to know. Parchment paper is a safe and effective liner to use in the air fryer. To avoid safety hazards, weigh down the paper with food and keep away from the heating element. Parchment paper can be heated up to roughly 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cooking your pizza on a pizza stone will make a significant difference. Preheat it along with your oven for a crispier crust that puts soggy pizzas to shame. If you don't have a stone, a cast iron pan can work in a pinch, or even put the pizza directly on the rack.

Apply olive oil to the pizza before baking it

To give your pizza some extra crispiness, Wide Open Eats recommends brushing the bottom layer with a little bit of olive oil before placing it in the oven. You can also brush some along the edges of the crust to ensure that every bite is crispy.

How do you make a super crispy pizza? ›

Transfer the crust to a piece of parchment (if you're baking on a stone), or a lightly oiled pizza pan, and let it rest for about 20 minutes. While it's resting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Top the crust as desired. Bake until the edges are crisp and the sauce or cheese is bubbling, about 14 to 18 minutes.
