Making toast in the oven is a simple and convenient way to prepare bread without the need for a toaster. Here's how to make toast in the oven!

🥘 Ingredients

All you really need for oven toast is your favorite kind of sliced bread! Of course, butter or jam are great options, too!

  • Sliced Bread - Go ahead and grab as many slices as you like, there are no limits here! Choose your favorite bread variety as well!
  • Butter, Seasoning, or Jam (optional) - Pick out your favorite toppings for your toast like the timeless classic cinnamon sugar combo!

🔪 How To Make Toast In The Oven

Making toast in the oven is just as easy as using a toaster, but you can make a lot more at one time! All you need is a cooling rack, some tongs (or a spatula), and the oven!

  1. Preheat. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place in the oven. Place the slices of bread directly on the oven rack (no need for a baking sheet!)
  3. Toast. Toast the bread for 8-10 minutes, or until it's golden brown and crispy.
  4. Transfer. Use tongs or a spatula to remove the toast from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
  5. Serve. Let the toast cool for a few minutes before serving.

🍞 Best Toppings For Toast

There are so many ways you can take your toast to the next level! You can make it either sweet or savory just by adding some toppings. Check out some of these yummy ideas!

  • Butter
  • Jam, Jelly, Preserves
  • Herbs
  • Mashed Banana
  • Nutella
  • Eggs
  • Pepita Butter
  • Lemon Curd
  • Peanut Butter
  • Avocado
  • Cream Cheese
  • Hummus
  • Honey
  • Herb Butter
  • Cinnamon Sugar
  • Strawberry Coulis

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • Keep an eye on the bread as it toasts in the oven, as it can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.
  • If you want to add butter or jam to your toast, do so after it has cooled slightly to avoid melting the toppings.
  • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle herbs or spices, such as garlic powder or cinnamon, on the bread before toasting it in the oven.
  • If you don't have a cooling rack, you can place the toast on a plate or cutting board instead. Just be aware that the bottom of the toast may become slightly soggy if it sits on a flat surface.
