Ingredients
- 1 can pizza crust dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup halal beef pepperoni slices
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Sprinkle the flour over a clean work surface.
- Roll the pizza dough until it matches the size of your air fryer basket.

- Arrange the halal beef pepperoni slices on top.
- Return the Pizza in Air Fryer to the basket and cook for approximately 3 more minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the crust is beautifully golden.

Notes
- Replace the halal beef pepperoni with grilled chicken, beef sausage, turkey ham, or roasted vegetables for a different flavor.
- Homemade pizza dough works just as well as refrigerated dough.
- For extra crispiness, cook the crust for one additional minute before adding toppings.
- Garnish with fresh basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
- Pair with a Caesar salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
