How to Make French Bread Pizza in the Air Fryer:
Creating this delicious Air Fryer French Bread Pizza is a breeze. Begin with a reasonably priced loaf of French bread, which you can purchase for just a dollar at Walmart. Slice the bread lengthwise, and then cut each piece in half to fit perfectly in your air fryer basket. To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, start by placing two plain slices in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up. Once the bread is toasted to perfection, add pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your preferred toppings. Pop it back in the air fryer for a few more minutes and your tasty pizza is ready to enjoy!
