Notes

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.
