Air Fryer Bread Pizza Ingredients

French bread - you can buy fresh french baguette. You can also use any other fresh crusty bread. You can buy ready made Texas Toast which also works well 

If using italian bread like focaccia, you can make these Air Fryer Focaccia Pizza!

Passata / marinara sauce / homemade pizza sauce

For a pizza that is a little bit different, you may want to use alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce. Garlic butter is another tasty option - it will taste a bit more like garlic toast!

Cheese - I have used mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese but you can use any cheese of your choice that melts. Parmesan cheese adds great flavour. 

Favorite toppings of choice - you can add your own toppings.

Go for simple cheese and tomato

Vegetable pizza - such as bell pepper, olives, onions, fresh tomatoes and jalapeno or green chillies.

Meat - pepperoni, chicken or other

Herbs - I have used fresh basil leaves.

Seasonings: Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, 

​Olive oil - to drizzle over

How to Air Fry French Bread Pizza

I have used the Instant Pot air fryer. You can use the cosori air fryer or any other brand. 

Preheat the Air Fryer at 180 degrees C / 360 degrees F

Slice a loaf of French bread pizza. Cut in half lengthways and then into smaller pieces as needed. Cut into sizes based on the size of your air fryer 

Spread a layer of the pizza sauce on the cut side of the bread.

Add on either grated or torn cheese.

Top with your favourite pizza toppings.

Sprinkle some more cheese and drizzle some olive oil.

Either place the pizza directly in the air fryer or use a baking sheet / aluminium foil to catch the cheese

Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket 

Air Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. If the pizza crust begins to brown too fast, turn down the temperature.

The cooking time may vary based on the type of air fryer and the pizza. 

Serve immediately or allow to cool slightly then pack into containers for lunch or picnics.

Serving Suggestion

Make it a spread with Air Fryer Breaded Mushrooms or Air fryer Avocado Fries.

Go for veggie sides like Air fryer Corn on the Cob or Easy Crispy Air fryer Cauliflower.

I love to drizzle over this Olive Oil Bread Dip.

​Whip up this quick Sour Cream and Chive Dip to dunk your pizza into. Drizzle over this easy Basil Sauce.

Enjoy with a drink like Watermelon Mocktail or Mango Mocktail.

For dessert, I love caramel ice cream, or eggless cookies and cream. This avocado gelato is unique and interesting!

Prepare some homemade air fryer donut holes, dust them with cinnamon sugar and serve with a side of chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping.

Storage

Store leftover air fryer pizzas in an airtight container. 

You can warm leftover french bread pizza
