Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Generously spread pizza sauce on each slice of bread.
  3. Sprinkle a hearty amount of shredded cheese over the sauce.
  4. Add your favorite toppings — the options are endless!
  5. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle Italian herbs for extra flavor.

Notes

Pizza toast is versatile; cut into smaller pieces for appetizers or larger sections for a meal. Pair with a fresh salad, garlic butter for dipping, or marinara sauce. For storing leftovers, let cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze the prepared but unbaked slices for fresh baking later.
