- ✓Toast sourdough at 375°F for 3-4 minutes instead of using a toaster to create even browning and prevent moisture loss that makes the bread soggy under wet toppings.equipment375°F, 3-4 minutes
- ✓Salt diced tomatoes 10 minutes before mixing to draw out excess moisture through osmosis, preventing your toast from becoming waterlogged.timing10 minutes
