2 Ingredient Air Fryer Pizza – A Quick and Tasty Air Fryer Snack!

If you love pizza and want it fast, this air fryer pizza is one you need to try.

This recipe was first published back in 2018, and over the years I’ve made this 2 ingredient pizza dough in several different air fryers, including Ninja, Cosori, Philips and my original Power Air Fryer XL. It works in all of them.

And yes… it really is just two ingredients. No yeast, no proving, no waiting around. Just mix, roll, top and cook.

While you can bake this in a conventional oven, making pizza in an air fryer is quicker, easier, and perfect for small batches.

What You Need

All you need is self-raising flour and natural yoghurt. Quite literally mix them together, knead and you’ll have yourself some pizza dough ready to be baked in your air fryer.

For the air fryer pizza dough:

• Self-raising flour
• Natural yoghurt (Greek yoghurt works too)

For the toppings:

• Passata or pizza sauce
• Grated cheese
• Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, chicken, peppers, pineapple, mushrooms etc.)

That’s it.

This simple combination creates a soft, easy air fryer pizza dough recipe without yeast.

Making It

Add the self-raising flour and yoghurt to a bowl and mix together. It will look slightly messy at first, that’s normal. Bring it together with your hands and knead gently until it forms a soft dough.

If it feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour until it becomes workable.

You could also skip the kneading part and use a food processor to mix the dough. Or for a very small batch, I recently used the Ninja Chopper (the mini one, available on Amazon) and it worked a treat.

The mini chopper is only really suitable for a batch of one or two pizza bases.

But mixing it by hand is also very easy.

Originally, this recipe made 2 small pizzas, and that does work. However, after re-testing (and after a helpful reader comment), I now think it works even better divided into 4 thinner pizzas.

When I cooked it as 2 thicker bases, the centre was slightly undercooked. Dividing into 4 allows the hot air to circulate better, giving you a crispier, more evenly cooked base.

If you’re making pizza dough for an air fryer, thinner is definitely better.

Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each one out fairly thin on a lightly floured surface.

Cooking the Pizza in the Air Fryer

This time round I tested cooking everything in one go, no pre-baking the base first like I did before.

Place the rolled dough onto a silicone liner or parchment paper directly in the air fryer basket. Add your passata, cheese and toppings straight away.

Cook at: 200°C / 400°F for 8–10 minutes

Check at around 7–8 minutes. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.

Because air fryers circulate hot air rapidly, thinner bases cook much more evenly. If making multiple pizzas, later batches may cook slightly faster as the air fryer is already fully heated.

Tips for Best Results

• If the top is browning too quickly but the base needs longer, reduce temperature slightly to 190°C.
• Roll the dough thinner than you think, it will puff slightly.
• Don’t overload with heavy toppings.
• Press lighter toppings (like pepperoni) gently into the cheese so they don’t move.
