4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free)

How to Make Pizza Toast in the Air Fryer

Preheat the Air Fryer:
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat up for a few minutes. Preheating helps the toast cook evenly and get that perfect crunch.
Prepare the Bread:
Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each slice, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. The cheese helps hold everything together and gives that classic pizza flavor.
Layer on the Toppings:
Add your favorite toppings. Pepperoni is a classic choice, but you can get creative with veggies, cooked meats, or even pineapple.
Season It Up:
Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the top for that authentic pizza taste. These simple seasonings add a lot of flavor.
Prep the Air Fryer Basket:
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. This step ensures your pizza toast comes out easily after cooking.
Air Fry:
Place the prepared pizza toast slices in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the pizza toast from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm and enjoy!
