This recipe was made using the Paula Deen Air Fryer.
Air Fryer Texas Toast Pizza Ingredients
This Garlic Bread Pizza Toast only has four ingredients! So simple and delicious!
- Frozen Garlic Texas Toast
- Pizza sauce – you could also use marinara sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Mini pepperoni slices – you can use regular size pepperoni as well – I just thought the mini slices were fun!
Recipe Variations
Add your favorite pizza toppings to his easy dish! Here are some great combos to change it up:
- Seasoning: add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and garlic powder for a little zing
- Meaty Toppings: Add cooked sausage or hamburger instead of pepperoni
- Veggies: Green pepper, diced onion, black olives and mushrooms would all be delicious! I would probably saute mushrooms for a couple of minutes before putting on the pizza.
- Chicken Bacon Ranch: Get crazy and add a couple spoonfuls of ranch dressing, cooked chicken pieces and diced bacon with your mozzarella!

How to Make Garlic Bread Pizzas
- Place 4 slices garlic toast in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360º for 3 minutes. I recommend lining the air fryer with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Open air fryer basket. On top of the toast, spread 1-2 spoonfuls of pizza sauce then top the layer of sauce with cheese and 10 mini pepperoni.
- Close basket of the air fryer and lower temperature to 300º for 3 more minutes. This will melt the cheese and help the pepperoni stick.
- Raise temp to 400º for 2 minutes to brown the cheese
- Remove pizza slices and repeat with remaining ingredients.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Nope – just take the frozen Texas toasts right out of the freezer and into the air fryer.
Well – as you’ll see – I did a few temps! An air fryer is easy to modify the temp! 360º for the first part because you’re cooking the bread, then lower the temp to 300º so the air doesn’t blow your pepperoni and cheese off the bread, then back up again to 400º to brown the top!
If you’re just eating the Texas Toast garlic bread plain – 360º for 4 minutes is perfect!
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass storage ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the air fryer for 4 minutes at 300º.
