Preheating = better crisping from the start.

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.


How to Get EXTRA Crispy Texas Toast Pizza

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

  • Use low-moisture mozzarella

  • Keep toppings light

  • Don’t stack slices

  • Let pizza rest 1 minute before eating

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Skipping the pre-crisp step

Storage & Reheating

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days.

Reheat

Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.

Avoid the microwave—it kills the crunch.
