FAQs

To make pizza toast, start with your favourite bread and spread a layer of tomato paste or pizza sauce. Add toppings like ham, pineapple or mushrooms, then sprinkle with cheese and toast or bake until golden. These Pizza Toast Cups are a great twist for kids and parties, using muffin tins to hold everything in place.

The best bread for toast pizza is one that’s soft enough to shape but firm enough to hold toppings without going soggy. A Hi-Fibre Lo-GI White Block Loaf works well – it’s easy to flatten, toasts up golden, and holds its shape when baked. If you want to mix it up, our Sourdough High Tin Loaf is a delicious substitute.

Mozzarella is a classic for any Hawaiian pizza recipe as it’s creamy, stretchy and melts beautifully. For extra flavour, you can add a sprinkle of parmesan or cheddar, but mozzarella keeps it kid-friendly, melty and delicious in every bite.
