Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 slices Texas Toast (thick, buttery bread)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup pepperoni or favorite toppings (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, jalapeños)
  • Italian seasoning, to taste

Optional

  • Olive oil spray, for extra crispiness

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather Texas toast slices, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, and toppings of choice. Using pre-shredded cheese and pre-sliced toppings speeds up assembly.
  2. Apply the Sauce: Spoon a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over each Texas toast slice. Avoid soaking the bread to keep it from becoming soggy.
  3. Add Cheese and Toppings: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your chosen toppings. Finish with a light sprinkle of Italian seasoning to enhance flavor.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook the Pizza: Place prepared pizza slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for 6-8 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are crisp and golden.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove pizzas carefully using tongs or a spatula. Let them cool briefly before slicing or serving whole with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Don’t overload toppings to prevent soggy bread and ensure crispiness.
  • Use room temperature cheese and toppings for even cooking.
  • Apply sauce and toppings thinly to avoid sogginess.
  • Check pizzas early during cooking as air fryer heat varies.
  • Cook pizzas in a single layer for optimal air circulation and crunch.
