How to Make French Bread Pizza in the Air Fryer
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise, then cut both pieces in half again.
- Mix the melted butter in a bowl with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush onto the baguette halves.
- Add all four pieces of bread to the air fryer and cook for 3 minutes at 370°F.
- Open the air fryer basket and evenly spread the marinara sauce over the toasted baguettes.
- Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese then top with pepperoni slices.
- Cook for an additional 6-7 minutes at 370°F.
Helpful Notes:
- Be careful! These pizzas will be very hot when fresh out of the air fryer.
- If you want to add a vegetable like mushrooms or peppers, I recommend you cook them fully before adding them to your pizza. This will keep the crust nice and crispy.
- Be sure not to overload your air fryer. If it’s a tight fit, air fry your French baguette pizzas in batches.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Like any great pizza, these French Bread Pizzas make great leftovers and heat up in only a few minutes!
IN THE FRIDGE: You can store these French baguette pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
IN THE FREEZER: Allow the pizzas to cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: To reheat, just pop your leftover French bread pizzas into the air fryer and cook for 2-3 minutes at 380°F, or until warmed. If reheating from frozen, place the pizzas in the air fryer at 400°F for approximately 5 minutes.
FAQS
Can I put other toppings on the pizza?
Of course! This French Bread Pizza recipe is so easy to personalize. Add whatever toppings you’d prefer, like your favorite veggies, a different kind of cheese, or a different kind of sauce. If you want to add another meat, I recommend you fully cook it before adding it to your pizza.
Do I need to preheat my air fryer?
I don’t think it’s necessary as they heat up very quickly, but you know your air fryer best so trust your gut!
Cheese is falling through the grates of my fryer. Can I line my air fryer with parchment or foil?
Yes, you can! Just be sure not to cover the entire basket, so there’s enough airflow through the air fryer.
