Ingredients You'll Need For This Recipe

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus up to ¼ cup additional flour – if needed)

• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast

• 1 ½ teaspoons sugar

• ¾ teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus additional 1-2 tablespoons)

• ¾ cup warm water

Also Read: 32+ Delicious One-Pot Dinner Ideas

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients.

2. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add up to an additional ¼ cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough is manageable.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.

6. Divide the dough if making two smaller pizzas, and shape it into a ball. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before rolling out to the desired thickness.

7. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

8. Par-bake the crust: Roll out the dough, place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone, and bake for 5-7 minutes until it starts to set and puff up slightly but is not yet browned.

9. Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite toppings, and return it to the oven.

10. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

And there you have it—your ticket to homemade pizza perfection! With this easy pizza dough recipe in your back pocket, you’re officially ready to ditch the delivery and create a masterpiece straight from your own oven.

The best part? You can customize it however you like—classic margherita, loaded veggie, or even a quirky dessert pizza (yes, Nutella and strawberries totally belong on pizza).

Print

Ingredients You'll Need For This Recipe

• 1 lb (4 pieces) salmon fillets

• 1/2 cup soy sauce

• 1/2 cup water

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

• 1 scallion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, ¾ of the water, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and brown sugar.

2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and starts to thicken.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining cold water to create a slurry.

4. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and continue to whisk the mixture until it thickens to a glossy consistency. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

5. Remove the teriyaki sauce from the heat and set it aside to cool.

6. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon.

7. Make sure the salmon is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to allow the salmon to marinate.

8. Remove the marinated salmon from the refrigerator and place it in an air fryer-safe dish.

9. Air fry the salmon for about 12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. The salmon should be flaky and cooked through.

10. If you like your salmon with a caramelized glaze, brush the reserved teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

11. Once the salmon is done, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Sprinkle sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions on top of the salmon for added flavor and presentation. Serve your air fryer teriyaki salmon hot over a bed of steamed rice or with your favorite side dishes.

And just like that, you’ve got a restaurant-worthy teriyaki salmon right from your air fryer—no takeout menu required! Whether you’re serving it up with some steamed rice, a side of veggies, or even tossing it on a salad, this dish is bound to become a weeknight staple.
