Expert Tips for Success

👩‍🍳Jami's Pro Tips: Want to take this recipe to the next level? Check out my expert tips below for the best flavor, texture, and meal prep hacks!

✔️ DO Ensure your oven is preheated for even cooking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap each pizza in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to three months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Recipe FAQs

How do you keep Texas toast pizza from getting soggy?

To keep Texas toast pizza crispy, pre-bake the toast for 5 minutes at 425°F before adding toppings. This helps prevent moisture from making the bread too soft. Using mini pepperoni or finely chopped toppings also reduces excess grease.

Can you make Texas toast pizza in the air fryer?

Yes! Cook frozen Texas toast at 400°F for 4-5 minutes, then add toppings and air fry for another 3-4 minutes until crispy and bubbly. This method gives an extra crunchy texture while melting the cheese perfectly.

What toppings go best on Texas toast pizza?

Classic toppings include mini pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms, but you can also try BBQ chicken, jalapeños, or even a drizzle of hot honey for a twist. Since Texas toast is thick, it holds up well to hearty toppings.
