If you need a fast lunch, easy snack, or simple dinner that everyone actually wants to eat, this fresh milled sourdough pizza toast is such a good one to have in your recipe collection. It has all the pizza flavors we love, but it comes together in minutes on thick slices of fresh milled sourdough bread. The outside gets crisp, the cheese gets melty, and it's always a hit, especially if you have younger kids to impress.

Ingredients
1fresh milled sourdough breadfrom my basic loaf recipe
150gpizza sauce
120gcooked hamprosciutto cotto, diced or thinly sliced
120gmozzarellashredded
Method
Set your oven to broil (top heat only) at 220–230°C (430–450°F).
Slice the loaf into about 10–12 slices. Aim for slices that are not too thick so they crisp up nicely, but still sturdy enough to hold toppings.
Optional pre-toast (recommended): If your bread is very fresh or soft inside, place the slices on a baking sheet and bake them for 3–4 minutes at 200°C (390°F). This helps prevent soggy centers later.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each slice.
Add the cooked ham, then top with shredded mozzarella.
Return the slices to the oven and broil for 5–8 minutes, until: the cheese is melted and bubbling; the edges of the bread are lightly crisp
Keep a close eye on them here, since broilers can brown quickly.
Let them cool for a minute or two, then cut each slice diagonally into triangles.
Notes
Don’t overload the toppings. Around 10–15 g per slice is enough to get that perfect balance between crispy bread and melty topping.

add that i cut up cooked ham into small squares. also, say that i like to use proscutto cotto (cooked proscuto) but ham works too
This is one of those things I make when I have a loaf on the counter and don’t feel like overthinking lunch or snacks. It’s quick, it uses what I already have, and once you cut it into triangles, it suddenly feels like something you’d actually serve to guests.
