Instructions

- Brush each bread slice with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the bread (you may need to do this in batches).1 tablespoon olive oil, 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Top each bread slice with sauce, toppings and cheese (in that order).1 cup pizza sauce, Italian sausage, mini pepperoni, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is lightly browned and melty.
Notes
- You may have leftover pizza sauce - pop it in the freezer for your next batch of pizza bread.
- I typically use parchment liners for this recipe. If you don’t have them, brush the air fryer basket with a little olive oil before placing the pizza breads in the basket.
- To cook in the oven: make the pizza breads as instructed, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees F until heated through and the cheese has melted.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F until heated through.
- Nutritional information does not include optional toppings.
