Everyone loves a good pizza but whether you're tired, don't have time or are really hungry, it can be a pain having waiting for the oven to pre-heat and then waiting even longer for the pizza to cook.

Thankfully though, if you have an airfryer, you can make a pizza toastie in half the time - and the results look pretty promising.

Taking to TikTok, Nate - also known as @boredoflunch - has shared his ultimate air fryer pizza toastie - and people are keen to make it for themselves.

Taking about the simple yet delicious lunch, Nate wrote in his caption: "If you’ve not had a pizza toastie then I think you’re missing out? I usually make pizza bagels but spotted @Christina doing it with bread and this is another way of doing it. Converted."

The pizza does have pepperoni on it, but this can easily be switched out and replaced with toppings of your choice like veg.

Because air fryers circulate hot air (and, in some cases, oil) around food in order to cook it, Nate says that in order to stop the pepperoni blowing off, you can use cocktail sticks to keep them in place. Just remember to remove them and ensure you can place cocktail sticks in your air fryer safely.
