🍕 Texas Toast Air Fryer Pizza
Ingredients:
-
4 slices frozen Texas toast (garlic-flavored works best)
-
1/3 cup pizza sauce
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
Pepperoni slices, mini or regular

Optional toppings: sliced olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, cooked sausage, red pepper flakes

Italian seasoning or dried oregano (optional, for topping)
🔥 Instructions:
-
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) (if your model requires preheating).
-
Partially air fry the Texas toast:
-
Place slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches).
-
Cook for 3–4 minutes to crisp up slightly before adding toppings (prevents sogginess).
-
-
Assemble pizzas:
-
Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each piece of toast.
-
Sprinkle with mozzarella and add your favorite toppings.
-
Optional: Sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning.
-
-
Air fry again:
-
Return to the air fryer and cook for 3–5 more minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
-
Cool slightly and serve:
-
Let cool for a minute or two before eating — cheese will be hot!
-
🧄 Tips & Variations:
-
Want it extra garlicky? Brush the edges with garlic butter before the final air fry.
-
Use white bread or hamburger buns if you don’t have Texas toast — just toast them first.
-
Make it mini-pizza style by cutting each slice into halves or quarters for appetizers.
