How to Make a Hawaiian Pizza in the Air Fryer
First and foremost, let’s discuss the dough.
While store-bought dough is an option, making your own is the best choice.
It’s simpler than you’d think.
Mix flour, yeast, water, sugar, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.
Let it rise for a bit, and ta-da! You have a fresh homemade dough with no added preservatives or ingredients you can’t pronounce.
Plus, there’s something satisfying about making your own dough from scratch. Trust us on this one.
Pizza assembly
Onto toppings: Hawaiian pizza typically consists of pineapple, ham, and mozzarella cheese.
But there’s no need to stop there.
Get creative and add jalapenos for a spicy kick, or bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
Don’t be afraid to customize it to your liking.
That’s the beauty of homemade pizza — you’re in control of what goes on top.
No more waiting half an hour for the oven to heat up and another 20 minutes for the pizza to cook.
With an air fryer, you can have your Hawaiian Pizza ready in less than 10 minutes.
Air Fry Pizza Dough
Once your dough has doubled in size, remove it to a lightly floured surface. Divide your ball into four sections.
Roll your dough using a rolling pin until it is 8 inches in diameter.
Dust the pan with cornmeal and transfer the pizza dough to the pan. Press down on the bottom of the pan.
With your air fryer preheated to 380°F, cook your dough for 4 minutes.
Now that you have your dough, toppings, and air fryer ready to go, it’s time to put it all together.
Putting the Hawaiian Pizza All Together
Remove, and then top your dough with 1/4 cup of Pizza sauce, 1/4 cup of cheese spread evenly, 1/4 cup of pineapple, and 1/4 cup of ham. Then add 1/4 more cup of cheese on top.
Cook for another 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the other 3.
Serve and enjoy!
