Serving4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French Bread
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 24 ounces pizza sauce, (1 jar)
- 2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1⅓ cup sliced pepperoni, (or favorite pizza topping)
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
- Prep the “crust”. Cut the French bread in half lengthwise to create two long pieces. Then cut those pieces in half to create 4 shorter pieces. Brush olive oil on the cut side of each piece and arrange the pieces, cut side up, in the basket of the air fryer (you will likely have to do this in 2 batches). Air fry for 3 minutes.
- Assemble the pizzas. Divide the pizza sauce evenly between the 4 toasted pizzas, brushing it over the toasted cut side of the bread. Sprinkle each piece with 1/3 cup mozzarella and arrange pepperoni pieces over the top. Sprinkle parmesan over each slice.
- Melt. Carefully transfer the prepared pizzas to the air fryer basket and air fry for 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You may have to do this in 2 batches.
- Serve. Serve warm garnished with fresh parsley.
