We love French bread pizza for so many reasons. It can feed our large family for much less than even store bought pizzas. We also love that we can customize different toppings according to everyone’s preferences. We generally use two full French loaves of bread for our pizzas. This leaves us enough to eat for supper, as well as lunch leftovers the next day. I generally heat the French bread pizza in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes.
