This Air Fryer Pizza Toastie is such an easy comfort-food recipe when you want something cheesy, crispy and satisfying without making actual pizza dough. 🍕🧀 It’s basically a pizza and a toasted sandwich combined into one, with layers of bread, pizza sauce, lots of cheese and mini pepperoni, then everything gets air fried until the outside is crisp and golden and the inside is hot, melty and ridiculously cheesy. Start with one slice of white sandwich bread and spread a layer of pizza sauce all over it, leaving just a tiny border around the edge. Then add a generous amount of shredded cheese. Mozzarella works really well because it melts beautifully, but you can also use a mozzarella-cheddar mix if you want even more flavour. Next, chop up some mini pepperoni or pepperoni sticks into little rounds and scatter them over the cheese. Place another slice of bread on top to create your sandwich. Now we’re not stopping there. 😂 Spread more pizza sauce over the top slice, add another generous layer of shredded cheese, then finish with more pepperoni pieces on top. This is what gives it that proper pizza-toastie look. Carefully place the whole sandwich into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180°C / 350°F for around 6–8 minutes, checking it at about the 6-minute mark. You want the bread crisp and golden, the cheese completely melted and bubbly, and the pepperoni hot and slightly crisp around the edges. If it needs a little longer, give it another minute or two, but keep an eye on it because the top cheese can brown quickly. Once it’s done, let it sit for a minute before cutting into it because the cheese inside is going to be VERY hot. Then cut it in half and pull the pieces apart while it’s still warm for that big stretchy cheese moment. 🤤 The middle should be saucy, gooey and loaded with melted cheese, while the outside stays crispy and toasted. AIR FRYER PIZZA TOASTIE Ingredients: 2 slices white sandwich bread Pizza sauce Shredded mozzarella or mozzarella-cheddar mix Mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni sticks Method: Spread pizza sauce over one slice of bread. Add cheese and pepperoni. Top with the second slice of bread. Spread more pizza sauce over the top, then add more cheese and pepperoni. Air fry at 180°C / 350°F for 6–8 minutes, until golden, crispy and bubbly. This is such a good quick lunch, after-school snack, lazy dinner, movie-night food or late-night snack when you’re craving pizza but don’t want to order one. You can also switch the toppings depending on what you have at home. Ham, mushrooms, peppers, olives, cooked chicken or even just plain cheese would all work. But honestly, the pepperoni version is hard to beat. Crispy bread. Hot pizza sauce. Loads of melted cheese. Pepperoni on top. And that cheese pull in the middle. 😭🧀🍕 Save this one because it’s definitely the kind of easy air fryer recipe you’ll make again. #creatorsearchinsights #stepbysteppizzarecipes #easyrecipe #fypシ゚viral #pizzalover
