Making French Bread Pizza In The Air Fryer

These pizzas are super easy to make and incredibly tasty, making them the perfect snack or side dish.

We’ll use French rolls as the base for our pizzas and top them with spaghetti sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. However, feel free to use any toppings of your choice, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or any other ingredients you prefer.

To start, we’ll toast the French rolls in the air fryer at 350 degrees for four to five minutes until they’re nice and crispy.

For the sauce, I’ve used my favorite brand of spaghetti sauce, but feel free to use pizza sauce or any other sauce you prefer. We’ll then pile on the cheese and toppings and pop the pizzas back into the air fryer for seven minutes at 350 degrees.

Finally, we’ll sprinkle some Parmesan cheese and oregano to add a little extra flavor. After just seven minutes, you’ll have delicious, crispy French bread pizzas that are sure to impress your guests.

So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and let us know what you think in the comments. Enjoy!

Tips for making the best French bread pizza

Step 1

Use soft crusted french bread from the store that’s wrapped in plastic wrap, not paper. Not only is it easier to cut but if you bake dry crust again it will become cardboard-like. I like to use one that is a day old so it’s a little sturdier and it doesn’t end up soggy.

Step 2

Cut the bread evenly so that each piece has the same thickness and size. This will ensure even cooking and browning.

Step 3

Don’t skimp on the cheese. You want enough cheese to cover the sauce and create a gooey layer of goodness.

Step 4

If you want to make your pizzas more browned and bubbly, you can broil them for a minute or two at the end of baking. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

Step 5

You can also wrap your French loaf pizzas in aluminum foil and toss them onto a campfire or grill for 10-15 minutes for a fun outdoor cooking experience.

Can I freeze French bread pizza?

Yes, you can freeze French bread pizza for up to 3 months. Just assemble the pizzas as instructed but don’t bake them. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.

Label them with the date and freeze them flat. When ready to eat, unwrap them and bake them in the air fryer or oven until heated and the cheese is melted. You don’t need to thaw them first, but you may need to add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
