Make these EASY and delicious Air Fryer Pizza Dippers or Air Fryer Calzone in minutes in your Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi!
If you enjoyed these Air Fryer Garlic Bread Pizzas, then you will really love these Air Fryer Pizza Dippers. They remind me of calzone, made right in the air fryer.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Pizza Dippers:
It’s best to use parchment when making these to keep the air fryer easily cleaned.
Another alternative to parchment paper is to use silicone liners. These come in both square or round to fit your air fryer or Ninja Foodi.
This makes for some easy clean-up when you are ready to just eat and relax.
Air Fryer Pizza Dippers are made using refrigerated pizza dough such as the canned Pillsbury Pizza Crust or Dough. This makes it a quick meal to prepare.
It’s also important to use a block of mozzarella cheese as opposed to shredded mozzarella cheese.
The shredded cheese has cellulose in it to keep it from sticking together. That means it will not melt as nicely as the block of mozzarella or fresh mozzarella.
Can you add different toppings?
This recipe can be made with any pizza toppings including a Hawaiian-style pizza with bacon and pineapple or a meaty pizza, even chicken alfredo too.
It really can be customized to your preference.
How do you store the leftovers?
If you have leftovers, it’s best to wrap the leftovers in plastic and then place them in the fridge.
When you are ready to eat it, simply reheat the cooked pizza bread for about 35-30 seconds in the microwave, then place it in the air fryer at 350*F for 4 minutes or until it’s nice and warm. Remember to unwrap it first.
This will make those leftovers taste much better than simply out of the microwave.
Now it’s time to eat up!
