Red mini pizzas in the air fryer, a real treat for the palate, ideal for the whole family.
We also prepare these mini pizzas for aperitifs in mini versions or for the kids’ snack.
Once cooked, you can also freeze them by placing them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and when they are frozen, you can put them in a bag and use them as needed without defrosting but placing them directly on the grill of the air fryer, cooking them at 356°F for 5/6 minutes, then check the cooking (it varies a lot with the size of the pizzas).

Steps for preparing and cooking the red mini pizzas in the air fryer:
First, prepare the dough for the mini pizzas, following HERE the detailed procedure, you can prepare it the same day, late morning for the evening or the day before and do the long fermentation in the refrigerator.
In a bowl, put the tomato passata (about 10 tablespoons), add a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and oregano, and mix well.
When the dough is ready, place it on the floured pastry board with semolina flour, divide it into dough balls of about 2.5 oz each; if you want, you can make them smaller like bar mini pizzas, in which case you will obtain more quantities.
Take a piece of dough and roll it with the rolling pin into a thin circular sheet, perform the same procedure with all the available dough.
On the grill of the air fryer, place one or two dough discs or more (depending on the size of your fryer), add a generous tablespoon of the prepared sauce on each disc, sprinkle with oregano, and then spray some extra virgin olive oil.
Cook at 356°F for 5 minutes, then increase the temperature to 374°F and cook for another 3/4 minutes.
Remove the mini pizzas from the fryer and proceed until the dough is finished.
