Air Fryer French Bread Pizza

My family loves pizza. They love it so much that they could probably eat it every day. That is why I started making this Air Fryer French Bread Pizza recipe. The air fryer pizzas come out perfectly with amazing flavor and taste better than frozen pizza.

Why We Love This Recipe

Homemade Pizza makes for a quick lunch or an easy dinner idea. Everyone can add their favorite toppings to make their own. Making pizza in the air fryer leaves the crust crispy with a soft center.

I love it because my kids can make their own without much help from me.

Variations Ideas

This pizza recipe doesn’t require much ingredients but you can easily sprinkle Italian Seasoning for more flavor. We like making our own pizza sauce, but you can also use Easy Marinara Sauce or tomato sauce.

How to Make French Bread Pizza in the Air Fryer

• Step 1 – Set the loaf of french bread on a cutting board.
• Step 2 – Slice the loaf of french bread in half lengthwise and then cut each piece in half. Note: You may have to cut the pieces into small pieces to get them to fit into your air fryer without over lapping.

• Step 3 – Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat option then set your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F to warm up the air fryer.
• Step 4 – Then place 2 pieces of the bread slices in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400 degrees F for 2 minutes.

• Step 5 – Then spread the pizza sauce on top of the bread and top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperonis. I put a little cheese on top of the pepperonis to help them not move while cooking.
• Step 6 – Then cook in the air fryer for 4-5 minutes at 400 degrees F until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown on top. Cooking time could vary.
• Step 7 – Continue this process until all the bread has been used to make pizzas.
• Step 8 – Serve warm and enjoy!

Pizza Topping Ideas

These easily can be made with any of your favorite pizza toppings. That is the main reason my family loves making homemade french bread pizza.

We usually have a pizza and movie night at least once a week. Everyone builds their own pizza and that makes everyone so happy.

• Pepperoni
• Black Olives
• Sausage
• Mushrooms
• Onions
• Extra Cheese
• Bell Peppers
• Jalapeño’s
• Bacon
• Spinach

These are my family’s favorite toppings. What do you top yours with? One of my kid is not a big fan of cheese, so he just tops his with pepperoni and black olives.

What to Serve with Pizza

We eat this French Bread Pizza about once a week for lunch or dinner. I also make this quick and easy recipe when my kids have friends over. We slice the pizza in a way that they can grab and go.

We love having a big salad with some Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe to complete this easy meal. Here are some of our other favorite sides.
