How to say "toast" in Japanese

• トーストCommon
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbThe food sense: sliced bread browned in a toaster. If you want toast for breakfast, this is the word; it covers the bread itself, not the act of toasting or a celebratory drink.
  このトーストはよく焼やけていません。↗

  This toast is not done enough.
• 炒るいるJLPT N2approx.Common
  godan verb, transitive verbMeans to roast or parch something like sesame seeds or beans over dry heat; 'to toast' is one of its glosses. For toasting bread, however, it is not the word you want—use トースト or 焼く.
  彼かれはコーヒー豆まめをいっている。↗

  He is roasting coffee beans.
• 祝杯しゅくはいCommon
  nounA congratulatory drink or toast in honor of a success or happy occasion. It names the celebratory cup itself rather than the spoken gesture, as in raising a toast to a victory.

  In honor of all the hard work we raised a toast to our first day in our new home!

• 焼くやくJLPT N4approx.Common

Use 「トースト」 for bread, 「焼く」 or 「炒る」 for toasting food over heat, and 乾杯 or 祝杯 for raising a drink in celebration, 乾杯 being the standard spoken toast.
