This French bread pizza in air fryer needs only 4 ingredients and take under 10 minutes if you have all of these in the pantry.

I normally make this recipe with any bread at home. Regular white bread, wholewheat bread, multigrain bread, French bread and so on.

Just make sure that the bread you use has thick slices. That way it will not get soggy when you spread marinara sauce on it.

Super convenient to make and so tasty too.

Ingredients

Bread: If using French bread, cut the loaf horizontally. You can also use regular bread at home like wholewheat or multigrain bread. Thick slices work better.

Marinara sauce: I normally keep some homemade marinara sauce in the fridge. You can use store-bought sauce too. Even ketchup or any tomato sauce works well.

Toppings: I have used only vegetables here. Finely sliced onion, peppers, tomato, olives, pickled jalapeños etc. work fine. You can also use finely shredded chicken, pepperoni, salami here.

Cheese: Can’t make pizza without cheese. You can use processed, mozzarella, cheddar or a combination of both. I have used mozzarella and cheddar here.

Seasonings: You can use chilli flakes or pepper and salt on top if needed.

Variations

Sauces: Instead of marinara sauce, you can try BBQ sauce, tomato ketchup or hummus for a Mediterranean twist on the bread.

Toppings: Meat lovers can use bacon, pepperoni, sausage, salami or shredded meat for toppings. 

Cheese: Shredded mozzarella works best. Combination of mozzarella and cheddar is good too. You can also use fresh mozzarella cheese.

Serving suggestions

Serve it with a green salad or any fresh salad for a more filling meal.

Along with a side: A side of garlic bread or French fries goes very well with this pizza.

Serve it with cola: A cola on the side or a refreshing drink like beer or lemonade pairs very well with this pizza.

Tips

1. Use any bread of choice. I have made this recipe both with French bread and regular bread.

2. Cut slices thick so that they don’t get soggy when marinara sauce is applied on top.

3. Any toppings can be used as per choice. Check topping variations above the recipe.

4. While you can use store-bought marinara sauce, I make a batch at home. Take 14 oz. tomato sauce/puree, 1 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, 2-3 cloves garlic. Heat olive oil and add garlic. Then add tomato sauce with Italian seasoning. Cook till tomato sauce is cooked and thickens. Then add salt and pepper as per taste. You could also use chilli flakes. Cool and use.
