Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 slices Texas Toast
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (marinara or favorite pizza sauce)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings (Optional)

  • Pepperoni slices, cooked sausage, bacon, or cooked chicken
  • Bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, spinach, jalapeños
  • Red onion slices
  • Red pepper flakes

Optional Enhancements

  • Olive oil spray (to lightly coat Texas toast for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Texas Toast: Lay out the Texas toast slices on a clean surface. If desired, lightly spray each slice with olive oil to enhance crispiness and achieve a golden crust. This step is optional if you prefer less oil.
  2. Add the Sauce: Spoon a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over each slice, spreading it while avoiding the edges to prevent sogginess. The sauce forms the flavorful base for your pizza.
  3. Layer with Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce to ensure a perfect melt. Add your favorite toppings such as pepperoni, vegetables, or any other choices you prefer.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place the prepared toast pizzas in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is crispy and golden brown.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Carefully remove the pizzas using tongs or a spatula. Let cool for a minute before serving your crispy, cheesy Texas toast pizzas.

Notes

  • Do not overload toppings to avoid soggy bread and ensure proper crisping.
  • Use thick Texas toast for sturdiness and crispiness.
  • Preheat the air fryer for even cooking and faster crisping.
  • Start checking for doneness at 6 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with cheese blends like cheddar, provolone, or feta for varied flavors.
