Air Fryer Sicilian Arancini
Day-old risotto balls with a mozzarella core. The basket browns the crumb without collapsing the rice.
Air Fryer Pizza
A hot air fryer is basically a tiny pizza oven. Roll dough thin, go light on toppings and cook hot so the crust crisps before the cheese floods. Pepperoni or veggie, dinner in under 15 minutes once the dough is ready.
Thin crust wins
Thick dough stays raw in the middle. Aim for about 1/4 inch. Pita or naan works as a shortcut base.
Less is more on toppings
Heavy sauce and wet vegetables steam the crust. Pat toppings dry and keep a light sauce layer.
Size to your basket
Make personal pies that fit flat. Folded dough edges burn before the center cooks.

Step-by-step instructions
Follow each step in order. Photos show what to look for so the basket finish matches the plate.
Shape
If using dough, roll two thin rounds that fit your basket. Brush lightly with oil. For flatbreads, brush the top with oil.
Top and cook
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Par-cook the plain base 2 minutes so it firms up.
Spread a thin layer of sauce, add mozzarella and toppings. Do not overload.
Personal pizza topped before the final cook Cook 5-7 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the crust edges brown. Check at 5 minutes.
