Notes
Expert Tips:
- To get the best results, preheat your air fryer before placing the pizza in it. This ensures a nice, crispy base and well-cooked toppings.
- Be careful not to over-sauce your bread. Too much sauce can make the bread soggy. Instead, aim for a thin, even layer of sauce.
- When it comes to toppings, less is more. Overloading your French bread with too many toppings can cause it to be undercooked or soggy. Stick to a few of your favourites for the best results.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer model and the amount of toppings on your pizza. It's always a good idea to start checking a bit early to ensure you don't overcook it.
- Allow your pizza to cool for a minute or two after removing it from the air fryer. This will help the cheese to set and prevent it from sliding off when you cut into it.
- For the meat lovers, bacon is an excellent topping to consider. Crispy, cooked bacon bits can be scattered across your French bread pizza base, adding a smoky, savoury flavour. Combine it with pineapple chunks for an irresistible sweet and salty contrast, reminiscent of the ever-popular Hawaiian-style pizza.
- Add pepperoni or sliced sausage for a meat feast pizza.
- Use barbecue sauce instead of marinara, topped with cooked chicken, red onion, and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Top with feta cheese, olives, red onion, bell peppers, and a sprinkle of oregano for a Mediterranean twist.
- Top your pizza with a variety of vegetables such as peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes. Add some goat cheese or feta for extra flavour.
- Spread a layer of pesto sauce on your bread, top with sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of parmesan.
