Description

Enjoy a quick and delicious Red Baron French Bread Pizza made perfectly crispy and flavorful using an air fryer. This easy recipe enhances the frozen pizza with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese, delivering a golden browned crust and melty cheese in just minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Red Baron French Bread Pizza, frozen
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F and let it preheat for three minutes. This step ensures the basket is properly heated to help create a crunchy pizza base.
  2. Prepare Basket: Sprinkle an even layer of cornmeal across the air fryer basket. This prevents the pizza from sticking and adds a pleasant crunch to the crust.
  3. Prepare Pizza: Remove the frozen pizza from all packaging and pat off any ice crystals with paper towels. Lightly brush the bottom of the pizza with olive oil to promote browning.
  4. Season Pizza: Lightly dust the top of the pizza with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, enhancing the frozen pizza’s flavor.
  5. Cook Pizza: Place the pizza halves in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry at 380°F for five minutes. At the halfway mark (around 2.5 minutes), rotate each half 180° to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Add Cheese: After five minutes of cooking, open the basket and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over the pizzas for a melty, flavorful finish.
  7. Rest and Serve: Carefully transfer the pizzas to a cutting board and let them rest for one minute. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Preheating the air fryer basket is essential for a crispy crust.
  • Using cornmeal in the basket prevents sticking and adds crunch.
  • Brushing olive oil on the bottom helps achieve a golden-brown crust.
  • Patting off ice crystals avoids soggy spots on the pizza.
  • Adding Parmesan cheese near the end prevents it from burning.
  • Resting the pizza before slicing helps keep toppings in place.
