ingredients & substitutions

Garlic and herb seasoning blend: I love using a garlic and herb blend because it makes the base of this french bread pizza in the air fryer taste like garlic bread! If you don’t have garlic and herb seasoning any garlic seasoning, garlic blend or italian seasoning works great too!

Mozzarella or dairy free option: I switch between fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella and low fat mozzarella. For the dairy free version I use dairy free shredded mozzarella.

Ricotta or dairy free option: For the dairy free version I use dairy free ricotta cheese mozzarella.

Turkey pepperoni: You can choose between regular pepperoni or turkey pepperoni. I like the turkey pepperoni because it gets just as crispy and is a better-for-you option.

Baguette or gluten free baguette: The base of this air fryer french bread pizza is a baguette. I used a gluten free baguette to keep this recipe fully gluten free.

This french bread pizza in the air fryer can be served as is or even cut into smaller appetizer-like slices. I like to serve it hot right out of the oven for the freshest taste. You can serve it with a side salad as a complete meal.

To store, I let the french bread pizza in air fryer cool completely before refrigerating in an airtight container for up to four days.

For longer storage, I love to portion the air fryer french bread pizza into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
