Tips, Notes & Substitutes:

  • Enjoy your pizza toast hot out of the oven!
  • Before starting to make your toast, preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F. 
  • Instead of using the baking tray, you can put the bread on the wire rack to make it more crispier. To prevent the melted cheese from dripping into the oven, put a tray on the lowest level.
  • Before adding the toppings, you can brush the toast with a little olive oil to give it a crispy exterior. 
  • Pre-made pizza or pasta sauce will also work nicely if you don’t want to prepare your own pizza sauce. 
  • Basil and other fresh green toppings should be sprinkled after cooking if you’re using them. 
  • Pizza toast can be made with any kind of cheese or bread you desire.
