Recipe notes and expert tips

Flatbread
If you’re out of flatbread, this recipe would also work with pita bread or naan bread (double up on flavor and use garlic naan bread).
Preheat
We pre-heat our air fryer, but if you have an oven-style basket-type air fryer, then you probably won’t need to.
Watch closely
Every air fryer model cooks differently; different brands and capacities can mean that your food will need a longer or shorter cooking time, so keep a close eye on them.
Storage
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and freeze for up to 3 months.

How to store leftover air-fried flatbread pizza

If you do have leftover pizza, then store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days, you can reheat pizza in an air fryer, or you can eat it cold.

You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

Customize your flatbread pizza toppings

First of all, I thought this was not a good idea after I tried it and saw it with my own eyes! Can’t imagine how good is this but to be honest this is much more delicious than those pizzas in the fast food chain I also add topping and more cheese to make it much more special and delicious! Thank you for sharing this.
