This recipe combines the irresistible flavors of pizza with the simplicity and convenience of air frying, resulting in a cheesy and satisfying treat everyone will love.

How To Make Air Fryer Mozzarella Pizza Bread

Slice your bread lengthwise and then crosswise. Be careful not to cut through the bread.

Melt your butter, and then add your oregano and garlic salt. Sprinkle the melted butter mixture into the cavities of the bread.

Add your two kinds of cheese to a small bowl and toss to mix. Fill the cavities with the cheese mixtures, and add the rest of the butter mixture.  Using foil, wrap your bread tightly with aluminum foil.

Add your bread to the air fryer basket, and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting for 10 to 15 minutes.  Remove the bread from the foil and air fry until the cheese is melted.  Serve with marinara sauce.

Pro Tips:

  • Cutting: Use a sharp knife to cut this bread. I recommend using a serrated knife. This way, the blade cuts perfectly through the bread.
  • Cheese: For best results, use freshly grated cheese. Otherwise, you will find that pre-shredded will not melt as well as newly shredded cheese. Since it contains a coating, cellulose helps shred the cheese in the plastic bag.
  • Vegan: To make this dish vegan, you can easily switch out the butter and cheese for vegan options. My favorites are Daiya, Vegan Foods, GoVeggie!, and Follow Your Heart.
  • Bread Size: Depending on your air fryer, you may be able to do several Artisan Rolls or one large loaf. Make sure to leave space around the basket to allow the air to flow, which will cook up your bread perfectly freely!

Do I Have To Use Sourdough Bread?

No, I used a great sourdough bread, which reminded me of the taste of pizza dough, so I recommended it. You can use any bread you want, and some great options are Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread, Italian bread, or even a simple Artisan Loaf.

Most grocery stores now have a line of homemade store-baked bread, so find your favorite!

Can I use Fresh Herbs In Place of Dried Ones?

I love adding fresh herbs after my Air Fryer Mozzarella Pizza Bread. I find that it creates a fantastic aroma and flavor.

How To Store:

If you have any leftover pizza bread by chance, let it cool to room temperature and then place it into an airtight container. It will last in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Place it back into the air fryer to reheat and heat until the cheese is bubbling!
