This Air Fryer French Bread Pizza is so easy to make and taste so much better than the frozen french bread pizza. You only need a few ingredients to make this at home and it is perfect for pizza night.
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.
Ingredients:
- French Bread
- Pizza Sauce – We like using our Homemade Pizza Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Sliced Pepperonis
How to make French Bread Pizza in the Air Fryer:
- Set the loaf of french bread on a cutting board.
- 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.
- 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.
- Then place 2 pieces of the bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees F for 2 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Continue this process until all the bread has been used to make pizzas.
- 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
- 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.

Storing Leftovers:
We usually do not have leftovers, but if we do it is very easy to reheat with an air fryer. Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5-7 days.
Reheat in the air fryer by cooking for 2 minutes at 400 degrees F.
How to Freeze French Bread Pizza:
You can even freeze uncooked french bread pizza. Just prepare your pizza and freeze in a freeze bag or air tight container.
Then we usually let it thaw for a bit and then air fryer as directed.

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 cheese bread to complete this easy meal.
