Ingredients

  • Sourdough Bread: You can use your favorite organic bread, but I love using Inked Sourdough if I'm using store bought as their bread doesn't have any seed oils or sugar.
  • Butter: I use organic salted butter, but if you want to make this vegan, you can use your favorite vegan butter or even EVOO.
  • Garlic: I use fresh minced garlic for loads of flavor!
  • Tomatoes: I use organic tomatoes for the “sauce” part. You can use Roma tomatoes, heirloom or even small cherry or grape tomatoes! I make this with any tomatoes I have on hand.
  • Nutritional Yeast: Organic nutritional yeast is what gives this pizza toast a cheesy flavor, but without cheese! It also adds protein to this organic toast.

Recipe FAQ's

Can I use another kind of bread?

Yes, feel free to use any kind of bread you like. White bread or wheat bread would also be good!

Can I make this in the toaster oven or oven?

Yes, you can easily make this in the toaster oven too. But, I like to use the air fryer basket so the toast gets crispy and doesn't become soggy. If you are making a lot more, you can use the big oven. Using a roasting rack will help with air flow in your big oven!
