Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Texas Toast Garlic Bread
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 80 mini pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Pre-toast the bread: Place 4 slices of frozen Texas toast in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 3 minutes to lightly toast the bread and create a crisp base.
  2. Spread the sauce: Remove the toasted bread and evenly spread 1–2 spoonfuls of pizza sauce over each slice, leaving a small border around the edges for a balanced crust.
  3. Add toppings: Generously top each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese followed by 10 mini pepperoni slices, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor.
  4. Melt the cheese: Lower the air fryer temperature to 300°F (149°C) and air fry the prepared slices for 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly.
  5. Bake to finish: Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and air fry the pizzas for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned for a perfect golden finish.
  6. Repeat baking: Repeat this process with the remaining 4 slices of Texas toast.
  7. Serve: Serve the Texas Toast Pizzas hot, optionally with dipping sauces or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal or appetizer experience.

Notes

  • Pre-toasting the bread helps prevent sogginess and ensures a crispy texture.
  • Use parchment liners in the air fryer basket for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings such as vegetables, different cheeses, or herbs to suit your taste.
  • Keep a close eye during the last 2 minutes of cooking to avoid over-browning or burning the cheese.
