Scale
Ingredients
- 10 ounce loaf of French or Italian bread (see note)
- 3 cups pizza sauce
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese
- 3 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, and then cut the loaf into thirds. You’ll end up with 6 pieces of bread to make 6 pizzas. Note: All air fryers are different sizes, so before cutting the bread make sure each piece will fit in your air fryer.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce onto each piece of bread. Our air fryer will only fit 2 pieces of bread at a time, so to prevent the bread from getting soggy you can add the sauce to each piece of bread right before it goes into the air fryer.
- Sprinkle each half of bread with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of oregano.
- Add 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese to each piece of bread, followed by 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese. Top with mini pepperoni if using.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 if needed. Place 2 pieces of pizza (or as many as will fit in your air fryer) into the basket of your air fryer and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Continue the cooking process with the remaining pizzas. You can keep the cooked pizza on a platter covered with foil until all the pizza is ready to be served.
Recipe Notes
For the bread, an Italian loaf is typically softer and wider than a French loaf. So for these air fryer pizzas we’re looking for a bit of a wider loaf to hold the toppings. However, you can certainly use whatever kind you find.
