How to make the TikTok-viral Pizza Lava Toast
Pizza Lava Toast is a TikTok-viral food trend that involves making the “ooiest and gooiest filled pizza toast.” Sounds good right?
All you need to make it is two slices of bread, some pizza sauce cheese, and the toppings of your choice —in this case, TikToker ) chose to use pepperoni and Italian seasoning.
Simply place a piece of bread on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and place four slices of cheese on the border of the bread, leaving the centre empty.
Following this, place another piece of bread on top and then make a small indented hole in the middle by pressing down gently, and filling it with some pizza sauce. Then, cover the top slice with grated mozzarella cheese and the toppings. Nicole opted for pepperoni and Italian seasoning.
You can repeat the steps above if you plan on making more than one Pizza Lava Toast.
Pop it in the oven (at 375°F) for 8 minutes and enjoy.

Trying the trend: I made the viral Pizza Lava Toast
I love simple, easy recipes and pizza, so testing out this food trend was a no-brainer.
Following the TikTok video’s instructions, I first lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheated the oven to 375°F. Then, I placed the four slices of cheese on a slice of whole wheat bread and placed another piece of bread on top. I only had mozzarella cheese on hand so this is what I used.
Following this step, I pressed down to make a small indented hole in the middle of the top slice of bread and filled it with some pizza sauce. Then, I garnished it with some grated mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and Italian seasoning.
After that, it was time to place it in the oven to cook for 8 minutes.
This is what it looked like when it finished cooking.
I sliced it in half and let it cool for a bit before giving it a taste.
