FAQ

Can I use frozen flatbread?

Yes, but thaw completely first and pat dry to remove excess moisture before adding toppings.

What if my air fryer is smaller?

Cut flatbread to fit your air fryer basket or cook in batches for best results.

How long does this keep?

Best eaten immediately. Leftover pizza can be stored 2-3 days refrigerated and reheated in air fryer.
