    Ingredient Notes

    French bread pizza ingredients on table.
    • French Bread Loaf or French rolls - you can just cut the french loaf but I find the rolls handy if you just want to make one pizza.
    • Garlic Butter- you can use storebought or I just mix some butter with garlic powder or fresh garlic to taste.
    • Pizza Sauce- you can use store-bought or tomato paste mixed with a little olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasonings to taste.
    • Mozzarella Cheese- I use pizza mozzarella, freshly shredded but fresh mozzarella is also delicious here.
    • Pepperoni- optional. If you do use it choose a good quality that is hormone and antibiotic-free!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you make French bread pizza in air fryer?

    Absolutely! You can make this homemade recipe or you can make frozen french bread pizza like Red Baron or Stouffers as well!

    Air Fryer time for French bread pizza?

    For fresh pizza, I suggest cooking it at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes (8 minutes if you are doing the garlic butter method I suggest in the recipe). For frozen pizza see below.

    How long do you cook frozen French bread pizza?

    Frozen pizza can be cooked in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes.

    Expert Tips

    • If you are strapped for time you can skip the garlic butter step but I highly recommend it. It's like having a combination of garlic bread and pizza!
    • Easily make your own garlic butter by mixing butter with garlic powder or fresh garlic to taste.
    • You can also make your own pizza sauce by mixing tomato paste with olive oil, Italian seasonings and salt and pepper to taste.
    • You can keep the first batch of pizza warm in a 200 degree oven or toaster oven while you cook the second batch.
    • Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer but it's best served fresh!
