Instructions
 

Prepare Your Air Fryer

  • Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for about 2 minutes. Line the basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup (optional).

Give Your Garlic Bread a Head Start

  • Place the frozen Texas toast slices in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Air fry at 360°F for 3 minutes.

Add Your Pizza Toppings

  • Open the air fryer and add toppings. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each slice, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices on each piece. Add Italian seasoning and grated parmesan if desired.

Finish Cooking Your Pizza

  • Close the air fryer and reduce the temperature to 300°F. Cook for another 3 minutes. Then, raise the temperature to 400°F for the final 2 minutes to achieve golden brown spots on the cheese.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Carefully remove the Texas Toast Pizzas using a spatula or tongs. Let cool for a minute, then slice if desired and serve with a salad or additional dipping sauces.
