Whether you’re craving a snack or need a quick, tasty treat, these air fryer pizza baguettes won’t disappoint. Trust me, they’re bound to become a lunch time staple. Give them a try today!

 

 

Can you make pizza baguettes in the air fryer?

Yes, air fryer pizza baguettes are quick, crispy and perfect for lunch or a snack. The air fryer gives the baguette a golden crust while melting the cheese to perfection — all in under 10 minutes.

 

 

 

What bread works best for air fryer pizza baguettes?

Use a part-baked or crusty baguette for best results. It holds its shape well in the air fryer and becomes nice and crispy without going soggy under the toppings.

 

 

 

How long do you cook pizza baguettes in the air fryer?

Cook at 180°C for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are crispy. Timing can vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.

 

 

Can I use fresh or jarred pizza sauce?

Both work well! A good-quality jarred tomato pizza sauce is convenient and flavourful, or you can use passata with Italian herbs if you prefer something lighter.

 

 

What toppings work well on air fryer pizza baguettes?

Classic toppings like pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, red onion, sweetcorn or peppers are perfect. Just don’t overload the bread or it may get soggy.

 

 

Can I make these pizza baguettes vegetarian?

Absolutely. Use a cheese-only version or add toppings like roasted peppers, olives, red onion, or spinach for a meat-free option.

 

 

Are air fryer pizza baguettes suitable for kids?

Yes, they’re ideal for quick after-school snacks or family lunches. You can let kids help build their own with their favourite toppings.

 

 

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes — assemble the baguettes in advance, store them in the fridge, and cook them fresh in the air fryer when needed. Great for meal prepping!

 

 

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

It’s optional, but preheating for 2–3 minutes helps give the baguette that perfect crispy base.

 

 

Can I freeze air fryer pizza baguettes?

You can freeze them before cooking – just wrap tightly in foil or cling film, then air fry from frozen at 160°C for around 10–12 minutes until hot throughout.
