Air Fryer White Pizza Recipe Tips

Use Fresh Pizza Dough: For the best texture and flavor, fresh pizza dough works wonders. You can also use store-bought dough for a quicker option.
Don’t Overload the Toppings: Keep the toppings light to ensure the pizza cooks evenly and the crust gets crispy.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating ensures an even cooking temperature and a perfectly crispy crust.
Brush the Dough with Olive Oil: A light brush of olive oil before cooking adds extra crispiness to the crust.
Experiment with Cheese: Feel free to add other cheeses like goat cheese or provolone for a unique twist.
Keep an Eye on Cooking Time: Air fryer models vary, so check your pizza around 8 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Add Fresh Toppings After Cooking: Add fresh basil, arugula, or a drizzle of olive oil or honey after cooking to enhance the flavor.
Use Parchment Paper: If you’re worried about sticking, use parchment paper to line your air fryer basket for easy removal.

Storing

Storing: Store leftover Air Fryer White Pizza (Pizza Bianca) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure the pizza is fully cooled before storing to maintain its texture.
Freezing: To freeze, place slices of the cooled pizza on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once frozen, wrap the slices tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat leftover pizza in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes until the crust is crispy and the cheese is bubbly again. Alternatively, reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes for the best results.

What To Serve With Air-Fried White Pizza

Air-fried white pizza (Pizza Bianca) pairs perfectly with a variety of sides to complement its rich, cheesy flavor. A fresh, crisp salad with arugula, mixed greens, or a tangy Caesar salad adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy pizza. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside roasted vegetables, such as garlic-infused Brussels sprouts or zucchini, to balance out the richness. You can also add a side of marinara or garlic dipping sauce for extra flavor, making for a well-rounded and satisfying meal!

Air Fryer White Pizza Recipe Faqs

Can I use store-bought pizza dough? Yes, store-bought pizza dough works perfectly for this recipe! Just make sure to roll it out to fit your air fryer basket.

Can I add more toppings to the white pizza? Absolutely! Feel free to add toppings like spinach, mushrooms, prosciutto, or olives, but keep in mind that adding too many toppings may affect the crispiness of the crust.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer? Yes, preheating the air fryer ensures an even cooking temperature and helps achieve a crispy crust.

Can I make this pizza without ricotta cheese? If you don’t have ricotta, you can substitute it with mascarpone, cream cheese, or even more mozzarella for a different flavor and texture.

How do I prevent the pizza dough from sticking? To prevent sticking, lightly brush the dough with olive oil and, if necessary, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.

How can I make the crust extra crispy? For an extra crispy crust, brush the dough with more olive oil before cooking and keep the toppings minimal to let the crust cook evenly. You can also pre-cook the crust for a few minutes.
