Notes

*Can be made with my 2-ingredient pizza dough.
You can also make this with french bread - just butter half of the french bread - cook for 3-5 minutes to toast. Then add toppings and cook for another 8-12 minutes or until hot and melted. (a great option would be buffalo chicken or crack chicken.
**Can be made in the air fryer - cook at 400 for 10-12 minutes.
If making the french bread pizza in the air fryer - cook at 400 for 3-5 minutes.
