Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (if required).
2. Prepare the Bread: Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to make two long pieces, then cut each piece in half to yield four pieces total.

6. Cook the Pizza: Place the assembled pizzas back in the air fryer and cook at 370°F for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the pizzas cool for a few minutes before serving.
