Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Add pizza dough ingredients to bowl
    A heap of white flour inside a decorative bowl with a metal scraper resting against the side.

    Place flour, sugar, yeast, cooking oil, and warm water into a mixing bowl to begin preparing the homemade pizza dough.

    Tip: Ensure the water is warm rather than hot to prevent killing the yeast.
  2. 2Mix ingredients into dough flakes
    Water being poured from above into a bowl containing flour, forming wet clumps.

    Pour warm water and other ingredients into the flour mixture, then stir thoroughly to combine everything into loose dough flakes.

    Tip: Stirring first helps evenly distribute the liquid before kneading by hand.
  3. 3Knead into a smooth dough
    A gloved hand kneading a smooth ball of white dough inside a patterned mixing bowl.

    Use a gloved hand to knead the mixture inside the bowl until it comes together into a soft, smooth ball of dough.

    Tip: Knead consistently until the surface of the dough is completely smooth.
  4. 4Roll out the pizza crust
    A clear rolling pin flattening a smooth round piece of pizza dough on a clean surface.

    Take the proofed dough and use a rolling pin to flatten and shape it into a uniform, round pizza crust.

    Tip: Roll evenly from the center outward to maintain an even thickness across the crust.
  5. 5Shape the crust edges
    A hand pinching and twisting the edge of a flat round pizza dough to form a patterned crust.

    Pinch and fold the outer border of the rolled dough continuously to create a raised, decorative pattern along the crust edge.

    Tip: Pinch firmly so the pattern holds its shape during baking.
  6. 6Poke air holes in the base
    A metal fork puncturing rows of small holes into the center of a shaped pizza dough base.

    Take a fork and pierce evenly spaced holes across the flat surface of the pizza base to prevent it from puffing up irregularly in the air fryer.

    Tip: Pierce all the way across the center and near the edges for uniform baking.
  7. 7Spread salad dressing
    A brush spreading white salad dressing evenly over the surface of a round pre-baked pizza crust.

    Take the pre-baked pizza crust out of the air fryer and use a brush to evenly spread a layer of salad dressing over the base.

    Tip: Spread the dressing in a smooth, even layer so it coats the entire base before adding the cheese.
  8. 8Add initial cheese layer
    A gloved hand sprinkling shredded mozzarella cheese over the dressing-covered pizza base.

    Take a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the layer of salad dressing on the pizza crust.

    Tip: Ensure the cheese is scattered thoroughly across the base to create a good foundation for the fruit toppings.
  9. 9Add fruit toppings
    A pizza base covered with shredded cheese, topped with colorful pieces of mango, dragon fruit, and cherries.

    Evenly distribute diced mango chunks, dragon fruit pieces, and cherry halves over the cheese layer.

    Tip: Press the fruit pieces gently into the cheese so they stay in place while baking.
  10. 10Add final cheese layer
    A pizza covered with a thick layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the fruit ingredients, ready for baking.

    Cover the fruit toppings completely with another generous, thick layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

    Tip: Make sure the cheese covers the fruits well so it melts into a golden crust during the final bake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can use pre-made dough to save time, though making the dough from scratch gives you a fresher flavor and crispier homemade texture.
