Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 (12 oz) loaf French bread
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup pizza sauce
12 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese or 2 cups shredded cheese
12 slices pepperoni cut into fourths (optional)

Instructions

If needed per your air fryer model, preheat to 370℉.
Slice the loaf of French bread open in half lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise to form 4 pieces.
In a small mixing bowl combine the olive oil with oregano and garlic powder. Use a pastry brush to evenly brush over the cut-side of the french bread pieces.
Place the seasoned french bread into the basket or on the tray of your air fryer, working in batches, if needed. Cook for 3 minutes at 370℉ to simply toast the bread.
Remove the toasted french bread from the air fryer. Spread each piece evenly with pizza sauce and top with sliced cheese to evenly cover. Top with pepperoni or desired pizza toppings.
Return the pizzas back to the air fryer, working in batches if needed, and air fry for 5-6 minutes at 370℉, or until the cheese is melted. Let the pizzas cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

French Bread: Feel free to swap out the French bread for Italian bread, baguettes, or sub rolls.

Notes on Toppings: If your toppings are wet (like olives or roasted peppers, etc.) blot dry with a paper first to prevent soggy pizza.

Storage: Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the pizzas by air frying at 370˚F for 3-4 minutes, or until warmed through.
