How to make pizza toast

  1. Toast the bread: Pop sliced bread into a toaster or alternative toast under the grill/broiler of your oven on both sides.
  2. Add toppings: Place slices of toasted bread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Top the toast with pizza sauce. Scatter over grated or shredded mozzarella cheese and top with your favorite pizza toppings. Sprinkle over dried oregano and place in a hot oven.
  3. Bake: Allow to cook until the cheese has melted then remove from the oven and serve.

Can I make pizza toast ahead?

The toast is best served hot from the oven and if you add the toppings too far in advance the bread will go soggy. The toppings can be prepped a few days in advanced and kept in the fridge until you’re ready to go.
