Ingredients

6 slices white bread
6 tablespoons pizza sauce store-bought or homemade pizza sauce
12 slices fresh mozzarella sub with shredded mozzarella
12 slices salami or pepperoni optional topping, mini pepperonis would be cute!
Parsley flakes and pepper flakes for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
Add the bread slices to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes to toast the bread.
Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on each slice of bread. Top each bread slice with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese. If using, add two slices of salami or pepperoni on each toast. Add your favourite toppings. I like to sprinkle some pepper flakes and parsley flakes on them.
Place immediately in preheated oven and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melty.
Let it cool a little before digging in!

Notes

Since these pizzas cook quickly, it is crucial to only use pre-cooked meats for the topping. If you want to use chicken or ground beef, cook it on the stovetop first and then add it as a topping. Similarly, with heartier veggies that aren't quick-cooking, you can saute them first.

Store any leftover pizza toast in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer because the microwave can make the toast soggy!

After the pizzas come out of the oven, wait a couple minutes before biting into them. They will be really hot.
