Instructions
Mixing:

- Storage: Store leftover pizza toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to regain crispness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread soggy.
- Customization: Add toppings like olives, jalapeños, or cooked chicken for variety.

1. Can I use different types of bread?
Yes! Any bread works well for this recipe—white, whole wheat, sourdough, or even bagels.
2. How can I make this recipe healthier?
Use whole grain bread, reduce the amount of cheese, and add more veggies like spinach or zucchini for a healthier version.

Absolutely! Substitute the cheese with plant-based cheese alternatives and butter with vegan butter or olive oil.
4. How do I prevent the bread from becoming soggy?
Make sure to spread a thin layer of sauce and avoid adding too much topping. Cooking the toast on medium heat helps it stay crispy.
