Servings: 4
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1/2 –3/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 –2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Pepperoni slices
- 2 –3 tbsp garlic and herb butter
Slice the French bread in half lengthwise, then cut each half into pieces that will fit comfortably in your air fryer basket. Keep the slices even so they toast uniformly.
Spread a generous layer of garlic and herb butter over the cut sides of the bread. Place in the air fryer at 400°F and toast for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
Remove the bread and spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each piece, making sure to reach the edges.
Top with shredded mozzarella and arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
Return the pizzas to the air fryer and cook at 400°F for another 3–4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
