Pepperoni Pizza – 7 Inch
Cooking Instructions Air Fryer:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to a temperature of 375°F (190°C). This preheating step is essential to ensure that the pizza cooks evenly.
- Prepare the Pizza: While the air fryer is preheating, take the frozen pizza out of its packaging and remove any plastic wrap or covering. You can cook the pizza directly on the air fryer basket or use a perforated parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent any sticking.
- Place the Pizza in the Air Fryer: Carefully place the frozen pizza into the preheated air fryer basket. Ensure that it’s centered and not hanging over the edges.
- Cook the Pizza: Cook the pizza in the air fryer for about 4-5 minutes, but be sure to check it periodically. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the pizza and the specific model of your air fryer.
- Check for Doneness: After 4-5 minutes, check the pizza’s doneness by looking at the crust. You want it to be golden brown and crispy. Also, check the cheese and toppings to make sure they are heated through and melted to your liking.
- Adjust Cooking Time: If the pizza isn’t done to your satisfaction, continue cooking it in 1-2 minute increments, checking after each increment until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Serve: Once the pizza is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Allow it to cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.
Cooking Instructions Oven:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the pizza’s packaging. Typically, this is around 400°F (200°C) for most frozen pizzas.
- While the oven is preheating, remove the frozen pizza from its packaging and place it on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack if the package instructions allow for that.
- If using a baking sheet, you can also place the pizza on a preheated pizza stone for a crispier crust.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for the time specified on the pizza’s packaging. This is typically in the range of 4-5 minutes, depending on the pizza’s size and thickness. Keep a close eye on it to prevent overcooking.
- The pizza is done when the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the pizza from the oven using oven mitts or a spatula, slice it, and enjoy!
Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the specific air fryer / oven model and the size and thickness of the frozen pizza. It’s essential to keep a close eye on the pizza to prevent it from overcooking or burning. Enjoy our delicious air-fried pizza!
