Recipe FAQ's
Reheating pizza in the air fryer is so much better than using a microwave and way quicker than using the oven. Add it to a preheated air fryer at 320 °F and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
If you froze the cooked pizza to eat at a later time, cook it at 380 °F for 8-10 minutes in the air fryer.
Assemble the naan bread, complete with sauce and toppings. Place the uncooked pizza on a cookie tray and partially freeze for an hour.
