Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 French bread loaf
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Cooked Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon pieces, diced Ham, sliced or diced Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Pineapple, etc.
  • Optional: BBQ Sauce, Salsa, White (Alfredo) Sauce, Pesto, etc.

Method
 

  1. Cut the French bread loaf to fit your air fryer basket. Slice each piece in half lengthwise.
  2. Lightly spray the cut sides of the bread with cooking oil for a crispier crust. Place bread cut-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 2 minutes.
  3. Flip the bread pieces. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border. Add your shredded cheese and desired toppings. If needed, place a small air fryer rack over the toppings to prevent them from flying around.
  4. Air fry again at 360°F (182°C) for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden and crispy. Check after 2 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the pizzas from the air fryer. Let them cool for about 2 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

- Use a smaller air fryer rack or a piece of foil to weigh down toppings if they tend to fly off.
- For an extra crispy crust, don't skip the initial spray of oil and the first 2-minute air fry before adding toppings.
- Experiment with different sauces like pesto or alfredo, and a variety of cheeses beyond mozzarella.
