Step 2: Air Fry the Texas Toast (Pre-Crisp)
Place frozen Texas toast in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 3 minutes, then flip.
This step is key—it prevents soggy pizza.
Step 3: Add Sauce
Remove toast and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each slice.
Don’t overload it—too much sauce softens the toast.
Step 4: Add Cheese & Toppings
Sprinkle cheese evenly, then add toppings.
Finish with a pinch of Italian seasoning if desired.
Step 5: Air Fry Until Perfect
Return pizzas to the air fryer.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes, until:
-
Cheese is melted and bubbly
-
Edges are golden brown
-
Bottom is crispy
Check at 3 minutes—air fryers vary.

Pre-crisp the toast first (don’t skip!)
