In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Quickly mix and set aside to allow the yeast to bloom.
Add the 3 Tbsp oil, salt, flour, cheese, and Italian seasonings. Mix until combined using a wooden spoon or danish dough hook. The dough will be thick. It's best to mix by hand so you do not overmix.
Once the dough is mixed, knead it until there is no visible flour and it is smooth.
Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into an 8-inch cake pan and roll the dough to cover, oil the sides as well.
Pour 1/3 cup of water in the gray Ninja Foodi pot. Place the cake pan on the bottom layer of the reversible rack (lowest position) and place it in the pot.
Set the Ninja Foodi dial to 'Air Fryer/Stovetop' then to PROOF.
Adjust the temperature to 95*F for 30 minutes.
Close the cover and let it PROOF until it beeps at 30 minutes.
Open the lid and gently with your fingers press the dough down creating the craters, then add 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the top.
Adjust the knob to STEAM CRISP and set to 325*F for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190*F. (Notes, 9 minutes will be lighter on top, great for a soup or sandwich, 12 minutes will be crispy, good for a charcuterie board.)
Once cooked, take it out the Ninja Foodi, use a sharp knife to release it from the pan and let cool before serving.
Notes
This recipe is made with the Ninja Foodi 14 in 1 Multi-Cooker.Leftovers can keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.A parchment or Air Fryer liner can also be used in the cake pan if preferred.
