Divide dough into 2 or 3 equal portions. A 16 ounce dough ball will make about 3 personal sized pizzas.
Use your hands to gently stretch the dough until it’s less than ¼” thick and roughly the size of your air fryer basket, using a heavy rolling pin to assist if needed.
Brush both sides of dough with oil, poke all over with a fork and season with salt. Place in the air fryer basket. (Line first with air fryer parchment paper, if using.)
Air fry for 7-8 minutes, flipping the crust over after 4 minutes, or until crust is blonde and cooked through. Check the dough a few times to prevent over browning.
Keeping the dough in the air fryer basket, spread 2-3 tablespoons of sauce on the dough and sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Top with pepperoni or toppings first, then a handful of cheese (about 1 cup). Air fry for 4-6 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown. It’s ok to open the air fryer to check on the pizza.
Carefully remove from air fryer. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
It’s important to place toppings UNDER the cheese so they don't blow around the air fryer.Frozen pizza dough can take up to 4-6 hours to thaw, so be sure to add that into your prep time.
