Ingredients
- 1 French baguette or half loaf (or thick bread slices)
- 3 Tbsp butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional toppings: pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375–400°F (190–200°C).
- Slice the bread lengthwise or into thick slices.
- Mix softened butter with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly over cut sides of the bread.
- Air fry the garlic-buttered bread for 3–4 minutes, cut side up, until lightly golden and crisp.
- Remove from air fryer and spread pizza sauce over toasted sides.
- Top with shredded mozzarella and desired toppings.
- Return to air fryer and cook for another 3–5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest for 1–2 minutes, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
- To prevent soggy bread, always toast the garlic butter layer before adding sauce.
- Don’t overload with toppings; too many can soften the crust.
- Adjust air fryer times slightly based on model and bread thickness.
- Use pre-made garlic toast for an even quicker version.
