Toast is bread that has been browned by exposure to dry heat. This browning reaction is a form of Maillard reaction. Toasting warms the bread and makes it crisp so that it holds toppings more securely. Toasting is also a common method of making stale bread more palatable. Toast is often eaten with toppings such as butter, cheese, peanut butter, jam, marmalade and Marmite.

The usual method of toasting bread is by the use of a toaster, a small appliance made for that purpose. To use a modern toaster, simply place sliced bread into the narrow slots on the top of the toaster, tune it to the correct setting (some toasters have more elaborate settings than others) and push the lever down. The toast is done when the lever pops up along with the toast. If the toast is not done to the user's liking, press the lever down again. Originally, toasting was not this easy; one of the first home toasting appliances that was available would only toast one side of the bread at a time, so the bread had to be flipped over half way through if one preferred both sides toasted. Bread can also be toasted under a grill, in an open oven, or lying on an oven rack. Toaster ovens are special small appliances made for toasting bread or for heating small amounts of other foods. Bread can also be toasted by holding it near but not directly over an open flame, such as a campfire or fireplace; special toasting utensils (e.g. toasting forks) are made for this purpose. Another device for preparing toasted bread outdoor is the folding camping toaster; holding four slices of bread the folding camp toaster is typically placed over a camp fire or open flame to prepare. Some brands of sliced bread specifically marketing their suitability for toasting.

Toast is also common as a comfort food, or as a baby's first solid food.
