How To Make Air Fryer French Bread Pizza
Ingredients needed
- French bread
- Butter (garlic butter if you have it)
- Mozzarella or cheese of choice
- Pizza toppings
- Pizza sauce
Important tips before starting
- Air fryers cook with air. If using pepperoni or another thin, light ingredient, bury it under the cheese. The air will blow it off the pizza before the cheese can melt if you place it on the top.
- Only use cooked toppings for the recipe. Unless you’re using fresh veggies, they are edible raw.

Making the Air Fryer French bread pizza
- First, slice the bread into portions small enough to fit into the air fryer. Then, half them so that you have two pieces like you see in the photos.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F.
- Butter the bread pieces. Place in the air fryer for 5 minutes to toast the bread.
- Once the bread is toasted, allow it to cool so you can handle it while add the pizza sauce. Next add the cheese and your toppings. See tips about the toppings.
- Place back in the air fryer cook for 3-5 minutes or until cheese has melted. When cheese has melted, allow to cool a bit then enjoy.
