Learn how to make the quickest Pizza Toast to share with the kids for an easy lunch or dinner. This is the fastest way to get the flavors we love of pizza, with less work!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
Place the bread on the pan and toast for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and spread on the pizza sauce, cheese, and any desired toppings. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just starting to turn golden brown.
Slice, if desired, and serve warm.
(To make these extra golden brown on the top, feel free to pop under the broiler for about 2 minutes at the end of Step 3.)
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm in a toaster oven, air fryer, or oven for a few minutes to return to the crispy texture.
Cut into strips to make this easier for younger kids to eat.
Use dairy-free cheese if needed.
Use desired pizza toppings to customize this idea for your family.
I've made this with sourdough bread, Italian bread, and other types of hearty artisanal-style bread. That tends to hold up a little better than softer types of sandwich bread.
Use pesto in place of pizza sauce to vary the flavors.
