Description

Make frozen French bread pizza in the air fryer for a quick, crispy, and cheesy bite that’s ready in under 10 minutes. No thawing needed.

Ingredients 

  • 2 frozen French bread pizzas, Stouffer's, Red Baron, DiGiorno, or your preferred brand
  • extra pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, or toppings of choice, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 380°F (or brand-specific temp above) for 3 minutes.
  • Remove frozen pizzas from all packaging. Do not thaw.
  • Press toppings firmly into the frozen sauce with clean fingers to help them stay in place. For extra security, loosely tent a small piece of foil over the top.
  • Place frozen pizzas cheese-side up in the basket in a single layer with space around each piece.
  • Air fry 6–8 minutes. At the 5-minute mark, peek in — cheese should be starting to bubble. Remove foil if used. Continue cooking until cheese is golden and bubbly and bread edges are deeply golden.
  • Use tongs to carefully remove from basket. Rest on a cutting board for 2 minutes.
  • Slice and serve immediately. Top with red pepper flakes, fresh basil, or a Parmesan drizzle if desired.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Key tips
  • Always cook from frozen — never thaw first
  • Preheat the basket for 3 minutes before adding pizza
  • Single layer only — do not stack or overlap
  • Use the foil trick if cheese is blowing off (remove last 2 min)
  • Add extra toppings before cooking — they cook perfectly in the same window
  • Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 3–4 min — far better than microwave
Quick-reference: temp + time by brand
Brand Temp Time Notes
Stouffer's 380°F 7–8 min Thicker bread. Use foil trick if cheese moves.

DiGiorno 375°F 8–9 min Check center is heated through.
Mama Cozzi's (ALDI) 375°F 6–7 min Thinner — watch closely after 5 min.
Toaster-oven air fryer 375°F 11–13 min Takes longer; cheese usually stays put.
Any brand (general) 380°F 7 min Start here, add 1 min at a time as needed.
