Method
- 1
Halve baguette lengthwise, then cut into individual portions (about 5 inches each).
- 2
Spread pizza sauce over each piece. Top with mozzarella and your choice of toppings.
- 3
Sprinkle Parmesan over everything. Place in basket in a single layer.
- 4
Air fry at 375°F for 7-8 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots and bread is crispy.
- 5
Top with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Pro tip. Don't overload the toppings or the bread gets soggy underneath. A thin, even layer of sauce is key — too much makes everything slide off.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 16 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
