Why this recipe works

Do not use raw baguette dough

The recipe starts with ready-to-eat bread, not with a raw or frozen dough. A short baguette is divided crosswise and longitudinally into four pieces, which fit with the cut surface upwards into the basket. Two batches with two pieces each are planned. Two small pieces each form a snack or a small meal; salad and other side dishes are not included.

Kitchen know-how

Tips for Air fryer pizza baguettes

Check the bread fits before topping

Short pieces can be placed in and lifted out more safely. Share the baguette appropriately, instead of pressing it on the hot basket walls.

Pat the mozzarella dry

Moisture from the cheese otherwise runs into the tomato layer and makes the bread center soft. The drained weight is the relevant quantity.
