❓ Q & A
Q: What bread works best?
A: Texas toast → extra crispy, hearty
Sourdough → great flavor
Regular sandwich bread → classic and quick
Thicker bread = more pizza-like.
Q: Can I make this without pepperoni?
A: Absolutely. Try:
Veggie combo (mushroom + onion + pepper)
Ham & pineapple
Plain cheese with extra seasoning
Q: Why spray the bread with oil?
A: It:
Helps crisp the outside
Prevents soggy bottoms
Gives a toasted, pizza-crust feel
Q: Can I use different cheese?
A: Yes!
Mozzarella + cheddar = more flavor
Provolone = stretchier melt
Mozzarella + parmesan = classic pizzeria taste
Q: My cheese blew around in the air fryer—help!
A: Press toppings gently into the cheese
Add heavier toppings first, cheese last
Or cook at 360°F if your fryer runs strong

Assemble ahead
Refrigerate up to 12 hours
