Pizza toast
Instructions
Tip
Pizza toast is an excellent option if you want to use some of the leftover bread you have lying around. Actually, day-old bread is to be preferred since it will turn even crispier in the oven and absorb the topping flavours better.
Tip
Make sure to keep an eye on the oven. Pizza toast cooks relatively fast, so take it out when the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Classic pizza topping with tomato sauce, pepperoni, and cheese
The combination of classic pizza toppings like tomato sauce, pepperoni, and cheese transforms this seemingly simple recipe into a culinary treat.

The pepperoni brings depth and nuances of umami and spiced meat, blending perfectly with the slightly tangy tomato sauce. To finish the pizza toast properly, you need a layer of melted cheese.

Experiment with different toppings
Our easy pizza toast recipe is the perfect playground for experimenting with toppings.
Add vegetables such as sliced mushrooms or peppers. The mushrooms provide a meat-like texture and earthy notes, while the peppers are vibrant and sweet when cooked.
Feel free to switch the pepperoni for anything from cooked sausage and crumbled bacon to sliced ham or Canadian bacon. Each will bring its own distinct meaty flavour, turning it into a meat lover's delight.
While hard cheese is a popular choice, you can always experiment with different kinds of cheese. Fresh mozzarella lends a soft and creamy touch to your pizza toast, while goat cheese has a bold, more distinctive flavour.
