Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cob loaf
For the filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 tsp garlic chopped
- ½ capsicum / bell pepper chopped
- 4 mushrooms diced
- ¼ cup olives sliced
- 100 g pepperoni 5.29 oz, sub salami or bacon
- 100 g ham chopped or sliced into thin strips
- 300 g sour cream 10.58 oz
- 150 g pizza sauce Sub crushed tomatoes or passata
- 2 tsp Italian herb seasoning sub with or mix of dried rosemary, oregano and basil
- 2 cups tasty cheese grated
Instructions
- Slice around 2 cm / 1 inch off the top of the 1 cob loaf and remove the soft bread inside. Break it up into chunky pieces, and chop up the lid into chunks as well. Place the hollowed out cob loaf on a large plate.
- Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Throw in your ½ onion and 2 tsp garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Next, add in your chopped ½ capsicum / bell pepper, 4 mushrooms and ¼ cup olives. Give everything a stir, and fry for another couple of minutes.
- Now add in most of the 100 g ham and 100 g pepperoni, reserving a small handful of each to garnish the top. Fry again for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the 300 g sour cream, 150 g pizza sauce, 2 tsp Italian herb seasoning and 1 1/2 cups of the 2 cups tasty cheese. Stir and continue cooking until heated through, approx. 2-4 minutes.
- Pour the pizza dip into your cob loaf and top with remaining ham, pepperoni and 1/2 cup cheese. Garnish with an optional extra sprinkling of Italian herb seasoning.
- Place your cob onto a layer of aluminium foil (so it’s easier to lift out once cooked) and place into your air fryer (or pre-heated oven, fan forced). Cook at 200°C / 400°F for 5 minutes until the cheese and toppings are nicely melted and cooked on top.

Notes
- Storage, Freezing and Reheating - Best eaten fresh. If you have any leftovers you can wrap it up in aluminium foil and store in the fridge. Reheat in either the air fryer or oven. We don't recommend freezing this cob.
- Serve Hot - The quicker you get it out of the air fryer and onto the table the better, while the cheese is still super soft and stringy to dip straight into.
- Make Handles - Use the sides of the aluminium foil to act as handles and help both lower and pull out the cob loaf. Be extra careful of the heat when taking it out!
- To Serve - Feel free to add extra bread, such as a sliced crusty baguette or crackers and veggie sticks for added dippers.
- Anchovies and Pineapple - The two most contested pizza toppings have been left off of our recipe, but do feel free to add your own favourite toppings such as these - we won't judge you!
