Whole Wheat Mini Pizzas
with Alfredo Sauce
3 hours l Makes 4 pizzas
The air fryer bakes individual-size pizzas
in half the time of the oven, making it a
great option for after-school snacks or
a meal for one or two people. It’s smart
to make partially baked crusts to keep in
the freezer for quick pizza on demand.

1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup almond flour

middle of flour mixture. In a medium
bowl combine the next six ingredients

while dough rises. - Preheat air fryer to 370°F for
10 minutes. Cut parchment paper into
four 7-inch squares. Sprinkle a clean
work surface with additional flour.
Divide dough into four equal portions;
form each portion into a ball. On floured
surface roll one dough ball into a 7-inch
circle. Poke circle several times with
a fork. - Sprinkle flour over one piece of
the parchment. Place dough circle on
parchment. Lift parchment by edges
and place in air fryer. Air-fry 8 minutes
