Inexpensive and Affordable Toast Recipes For Everyone
I love how inexpensive these pizza toasts are to make! This recipe uses a lot of ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards (like bread and tomato sauce)- most of which you probably have on hand. Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and healthy meals using a few staples you can rotate.
I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep stocked. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple ingredients in my Amazon shop here. By stocking up on healthy whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!
What’s In This Easy Homemade Pizza Bread?
I love shopping for fresh produce through Misfits Market – they sell groceries, healthy pantry staples, and fantastic food finds (even wine!) at a discounted price. Choose your favorite seasonal produce, save up to 40% off grocery store prices & save time by getting free delivery right to your door!
- Bread – I used a thick sliced homemade beer bread for this, but you can use anything you have on hand: Texas toast, sourdough, sandwich bread, or rye!
- Tomato Sauce – You can use any jarred tomato or spaghetti sauce you have. If you have pizza sauce, you can definitely add that, but regular pasta sauce tastes just as good! This tomato sauce is my favorite – its sweet, flavorful, and fresh!
- Fresh mozzarella balls – I used this Ciliegine which means “cherry sized” in Italian.
- Butter – I like to use unsalted butter to reduce the amount of sodium in my cooking. It’s a great addition to brush on the bread before toasting!
- Arugula – I love adding bright & peppery arugula to my pizzas, but you can add any favorite toppings you like.

How Do You Make Pizza Toast?
- Melt the butter in the microwave or sauce pan. Set aside.
- Toast your bread slices. Brush them with melted butter after they are toasted.
- To each piece of toast, add a tablespoon of tomato sauce, then the fresh mozzarella on top. Place the assembled pizza toasts on a sheet pan, place on an even layer.
- Place the sheet pan on a center rack in the oven. Broil on low heat for 4-5 minutes, until the mozzarella cheese has melted and begins to brown and bubble. Keep an eye on the toasts, as they can burn quickly under the broiler, so pay attention after 4 minutes until the toasts are ready.
- Remove toasts from the oven, and top with fresh arugula. Enjoy!
