When ready to cook your pizza, preheat your air fryer to 380°F.
Add to a large bowl your warm water, and yeast. Stir and mix. Allow your yeast to proof for about five minutes.
After the five minutes, add in your sugar, flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Knead with the dough hook for about five minutes on medium speed if using a stand mixer. If using your hands, transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
Transfer your dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean towel for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Assemble the Cheesy Bread
Once your dough has doubled in size, remove your dough ball to a lightly floured surface. Divide your ball into two sections.
Roll your dough using a rolling pin until it is 8 inches in diameter.
Using 1 tablespoon of butter, grease your pie pan. Transfer your pizza dough to your pan. Press to flatten down on the bottom of the pan.
With your air fryer preheated to 380°F, cook your dough for 5 minutes.
Remove, and then top your dough with 1 tablespoon butter, ¾ cup cheese, and ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 for your second cheesy bread.
Serve and enjoy!
