Air Fryer French Bread Pizza is a delicious and quick meal that you can make using your air fryer. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
1 French baguette or Italian bread loaf
1 cup of pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
Olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
Prepare the bread: Cut the French baguette or Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two pizza bases. You can also cut it into smaller individual-sized portions if you prefer.
Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil. This will help the bread become crispy when air fried.
Assemble the pizza: Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each bread half. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges for the crust. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add your preferred toppings on top of the cheese.
Air fry the pizzas: Place the prepared pizza halves into the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the bread becomes crispy and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
Serve: Carefully remove the French bread pizzas from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing them into smaller pieces. Serve hot, and enjoy!
Remember that air fryer cooking times can vary depending on the model and size of your air fryer, so it’s essential to monitor the pizzas as they cook to prevent overcooking or burning. You can customize these pizzas with your favorite toppings to suit your taste, making them a versatile and satisfying meal option.
