How To Make Air Fryer Burrata Pizza
Step 1: Begin by spreading softened butter evenly over each slice of Italian bread to create a golden, crispy base. Next, drizzle or brush ½ tablespoon of olive oil on top to boost flavor and help the bread crisp perfectly in the air fryer.
Step 2: Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat; season with a pinch of salt and pepper if you like.
Step 3: Evenly layer the burrata cheese over each slice of buttered and oiled bread.
Step 4: Arrange the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 3–4 minutes, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: After 4 minutes in the air fryer, top the bread with marinara sauce, Parmesan, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Air fry for an additional 4 minutes at 350°F, then let cool slightly before slicing. For extra flavor, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Easy Air Fryer Burrata Pizza Recipe Tips
- Preheat the air fryer: Always preheat to 350°F to ensure a crisp crust.
- Trim bread to fit: Cut your bread slices to fit the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Prep toppings ahead: Halve cherry tomatoes, grate Parmesan, and tear burrata before cooking to save time.
- Layer after initial crisp: Add marinara, cheese, and seasonings after the bread is partially crisped for the best texture.
- Watch the cook time: Air fry in short intervals and check to avoid overcooking the cheese.
- Garnish last: Drizzle olive oil and add fresh basil after cooking for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately: Burrata is best enjoyed warm with a crispy base and creamy center.
Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep fresh toppings like basil separate until serving to maintain flavor and texture.
- Freezing: Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before reheating for best results.
- Reheating: Reheat slices in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes until the crust is crispy and the cheese is warmed through. Add fresh toppings after reheating for the best flavor and texture.
Air Fryer Burrata Pizza Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen bread? Yes! Slightly thaw the bread first or increase air frying time by 1–2 minutes for a crispy crust.
Can I substitute burrata? Fresh mozzarella or stracciatella can be used, but burrata gives that creamy, indulgent center.
Can I prep ahead of time? You can prep toppings in advance, but assemble and air fry just before serving to keep the bread crisp.
Can I bake it in the oven instead? Yes! Bake at 350°F for 6–8 minutes until the bread is golden and cheese is melted.
How should I store leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and add fresh toppings when serving.
Can I add extra toppings? Absolutely! Prosciutto, roasted veggies, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze work beautifully.
