Why Use an Air Fryer to Cook French Bread Pizza?
French bread pizza made in an air fryer will taste exactly the same as restaurant’s pizza compared to traditional oven cooking methods.
As a result, you should have a beautiful crispy dough base covered with a herby tomato sauce and whatever extra ingredients you like.
Moreover, the air fryer has the advantage of not drying out food as much as a conventional oven. As a result, you’ll receive the same excellent crispy base and topping, but with a soft and tasty inside dough!
What Toppings Can I Use for Homemade French Bread Pizza?
Everyone can choose their toppings and favorites. Mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, ham, onions, sausage, and pepperoni are just a few of the options. With Alfredo sauce and spinach, you can even make a white pizza french bread.
