This air fryer french bread pizza is always a hit with my family. French bread is topped with store-bought pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, salami, and air fried to perfection. This air fryer pizza bread is perfect as a snack, served as a side with pasta, and you can also dunk it into soups. I love how simple this recipe is. Let me show you how to make it.
½teaspoondried oregano basil or Italian seasoning to serve
Instructions
Cut the fresh loaf into halves lengthwise, then cut each slice into your desired length. More importantly, cut into a size that fits nicely in your air fryer basket.
Place the bread in the air fryer basket and cook at 360F / 180C for 1 minute.
Spoon the pizza sauce on the bread and spread it evenly with the back of your spoon.
Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese to cover the sauce and cook at 360F / 180C for 1-2 minutes or just enough time to melt the cheese. (See note the note below for more tips on this step)
Remove the air fryer basket from the air fryer and carefully top the mozzarella cheese with salami.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Carefully remove the French bread pizza from the air fryer, and sprinkle with more herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
PS: I use this method (of adding topping to melted cheese) to prevent the salami from burning or flying off the bread while cooking. Suppose you are using another type of topping that is a bit weighty, like bell peppers, mushrooms, and the like. There is no need to melt the cheese first. You can add all the toppings and cook straight away.
