🛒 Ingredients (with Measurements)

  • 8 slices garlic Texas toast (frozen or fresh)

  • ½ cup pizza sauce (marinara works great)

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup mini pepperoni slices (or regular pepperoni, chopped)

  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional but delicious)

  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Texas Toast Pizza in the Air Fryer

1️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes. Preheating helps the toast crisp evenly and keeps the bottom from getting soggy.

2️⃣ Toast the Bread (Optional but Recommended)

Place the Texas toast slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden. This step creates a sturdy base that holds sauce and cheese without softening.

3️⃣ Add the Toppings

Remove toast and spread 1–2 tablespoons pizza sauce evenly over each slice.
Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese, then top with pepperoni slices.
Finish with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Parmesan if using.

4️⃣ Air Fry to Melty Perfection

Return pizzas to the air fryer basket.
Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 4–6 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them — air fryers cook fast!
