I love a really tasty and easy recipe, & this pizza toast couldn’t be simpler to make! You can use your favorite bread for this (I used my recipe for delicious beer bread) and top with your favorite pizza add-ons.

I kept it simple with arugula, but you could add peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or pineapple if that’s your jam. Anyway you serve it, you have a fantastic and easy snack that will be loved by all. This is a great snack for any age – from kids to adults!

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 tasty 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 whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!

What’s In This Easy Homemade Pizza Bread?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

  • 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?

  1. Melt the butter in the microwave or sauce pan. Set aside.
  2. Toast your bread slices. Brush them with melted butter after they are toasted.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove toasts from the oven, and top with fresh arugula.  Enjoy!
