Air Fryer Biscuit Pizzas

Fix dinner in no time with air fryer biscuit pizzas They're super easy to throw together and check off that pizza craving without a mountain of dishes These fun little pizzas use staple ingredients and are a go to when the family's hungry right now and too tired to wait for a delivery guy

The first time I made these was one of those nights when we'd come home late after practice and everyone was starving They've been our top pick for late night snacks and movie binging ever since Building your own makes it extra fun

Tasty Ingredients

• Refrigerated biscuits: make a chewy crust right away Buttermilk or original both work great Just peek at the date so they're fresh
• Pizza sauce: classic tangy flavor A thicker sauce helps avoid soggy bottoms
• Dried oregano: this is totally up to you but adds a nice pizzeria touch Go for leafy green for best taste
• Mozzarella cheese: melts nicely Pre-shredded is easy but shredding your own gives you stretchier cheese
• Mini pepperoni slices: small but mighty enough to pack flavor Pick good ones so you don't get greasy pizzas
• Cooked Italian sausage: salty bites throughout Nicest if it's well done so it's not greasy

Simple Step-by-Step

Repeat and Serve:

Cook any leftover biscuit rounds Let 'em sit for a minute so folks don't burn their fingers grabbing them

Air Fry to Perfection:

Set your air fryer to 370 F and cook those pizzas for about four or five minutes Take a look—when the cheese is bubbling and the crust is gold you're all set Use tongs or a spatula to scoop them out

Add Toppings:

Sprinkle cooked sausage and a bunch of mini pepperoni wherever you want Add a shower of oregano on top if that's your jam

Sauce and Cheese Layer:

Add about a spoon of sauce onto each dough round Spread it out almost to the edge and cover generously with mozzarella

Build the Pizza Base:

Move the flattened biscuits into the air fryer basket Give them their own space so they crisp Don't worry about cooking in a couple batches

Prep the Biscuits:

Carefully open your tube so you don't mess up the dough Put biscuits on a cutting board Roll each out till they're roughly four inches wide Dust with flour if sticking gets annoying

I have a total soft spot for mozzarella I swear it's the magic in every killer pizza I'll never forget my kid first piling cheese on his own mini pizza He couldn't stop giggling My kitchen still holds that awesome midnight pizza party smell

Storing Leftovers

Leftover biscuit pizzas keep well for up to three days in the fridge Just close them in a tight container When you want more pop them in the air fryer at 350 till warm or use the microwave They'll turn out crispier in the air fryer and are almost just like new

Swaps and Options

To make these meatless swap in some sautéed peppers olives or mushrooms If pizza sauce isn't handy grab tomato paste, stir in a bit of olive oil, and add Italian herbs Any cheese that melts easily is good in place of mozzarella

How to Serve

Recipe FAQs

→ What’s the ideal biscuit dough to use?

Use refrigerated dough from a standard 10-pack. It rolls out easily and bakes up perfectly flaky.

→ How do I keep dough from sticking in the fryer?

Place parchment paper in the basket, or give it a quick spray with oil so nothing sticks.

→ Can I customize with other toppings?

Of course! Add mushrooms, onion, peppers, or a sprinkle of olives. Just avoid overloading so the crust doesn’t get soggy.

→ How do I make a thinner, crunchier base?

Slice biscuits into halves, flatten them more, and pre-cook slightly before layering on your toppings.

→ What’s the easiest way to reheat leftovers?

Pop them in an air fryer at 350°F for about 2 minutes or microwave for a quick 30 seconds to heat them back up.
