Today, I am sharing a recipe for Air Fryer French Bread Pizza. It works great to make for lunch or dinner. As a kid, I loved for french bread pizzas you can but from the freezer section of the grocery store. Let me just say that his version is so much better.
The first thing you are going to need is a loaf of French bread. These are fairly inexpensive and easy to just grab from your local grocery store baker department. For this I usually get the $1 loaf I can grab from Walmart. Just cut in in half lengthwise and then cut each half into 3 sections. Each person will get 2 pieces, so you can serve 3 people with one loaf of bread.
Next, you will need some butter and garlic. This is the secret to making these pizzas amazing. You melt some butter and mix it with some garlic. Then you brush this on the cut side of the French bread. Then the bread goes in the air fryer for a few minutes. It get the crust toasted and gives it that garlic butter flavor. It you want a softer crust, you can always skip this step.
After this step, it’s time for the toppings. You need sauce, cheese and whatever other toppings you like on your pizza. I used ham and pineapple. It’s one that everyone loves at my house. It gives you that sweet and savory combination. Once the air fryer French bread pizza is topped, it needs a little more time the the air fryer to get that cheese all melty!
