Air Fryer Milton's Craft Bakers Frozen Pizza Recipe: Artisan Quality, Perfectly Crispy

Milton's Craft Bakers frozen pizzas are known for their high-quality ingredients and thin, crispy crust. Cooking one in an air fryer enhances its gourmet flavors, giving you a restaurant-style crispy crust and perfectly melted toppings. Here’s how to make the most of your Milton’s pizza with your air fryer.

Ingredients:

• 1 Milton's Craft Bakers frozen pizza (choose from popular varieties like Thin & Crispy Roasted Vegetable, Margherita, or Uncured Pepperoni)

• Optional toppings:

  • Shredded mozzarella, parmesan, or vegan cheese

  • Dried oregano, garlic powder, or crushed red pepper

  • Fresh basil or arugula for garnish

  • Olive oil or balsamic glaze for a finishing touch

Equipment:

• Air fryer (large enough for the pizza or slices)

• Pizza cutter or sharp knife

• Parchment paper or aluminum foil (optional for easy cleanup)

• Tongs or spatula for safe handling

Preparation Steps:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3–5 minutes. This ensures the pizza cooks evenly and achieves a perfectly crisp crust.

2. Prepare the Pizza:

   • Remove the Milton's pizza from its packaging. If the pizza is larger than your air fryer basket, slice it into halves or quarters to fit.

   • Lightly spray the crust with olive oil or brush with melted butter to enhance crispiness and flavor.

3. Optional Enhancements:

   • Add extra cheese or sprinkle dried oregano or garlic powder over the top for a boost of flavor.

   • Save fresh herbs like basil or arugula to garnish after cooking for a vibrant finish.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Place the Pizza in the Air Fryer:

   • Lay the pizza or slices flat in the air fryer basket. If using parchment paper, ensure it’s perforated to allow for proper airflow.

   • Leave some space between slices or edges to allow for even cooking.

2. Cook the Pizza:

   • Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 8–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza and your air fryer model.

   • Halfway through cooking, check on the pizza and rotate or rearrange it for even crisping.

3. Check for Doneness:

   • The pizza is ready when the crust is golden-brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. If you prefer a slightly crispier crust, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 1–2 minutes.

Serving Instructions:

1. Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Be cautious, as the pizza and basket will be very hot.

2. Allow the pizza to rest on a cutting board for about 2 minutes to let the cheese set before slicing.

3. Slice into wedges or squares with a pizza cutter and serve immediately.

4. Garnish with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, or balsamic glaze for an elegant touch.

Pro Tips:

• Reheating Leftovers: Reheat slices in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes to restore their crispy crust and warm toppings.

• Thin Crust Advantage: Milton’s pizzas are naturally thin and crispy, so monitor closely to avoid overcooking.

• Mess-Free Cooking: Use parchment paper to catch melted cheese or crumbs while maintaining airflow.

Creative Variations:

• Gourmet Touch: After cooking, top with caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh arugula for a restaurant-style upgrade.

• Cheesy Breadsticks: Slice the crust into strips, brush with garlic butter, and sprinkle with parmesan for a fun, shareable snack.

• Mediterranean Style: Add feta, olives, and a drizzle of tzatziki after cooking for a Mediterranean-inspired twist. Air Fryer Milton's Craft Bakers Frozen Pizza
