Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
