"Etymologically the noun toast comes from the verb toast and meant “piece of bread that has been toast (verb)-ed” but perhaps this is not good enough…"

toast (v.1)
"to brown with heat," late 14c., tosten, from Old French toster "to toast, to grill, roast, burn" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *tostare (source of Italian tostare, Spanish tostar), frequentative of Latin torrere (past participle tostus) "to parch" (from PIE root *ters- "to dry"). Related: Toasted; toasting.
also from late 14c.
toast (n.1)
"piece of bread browned by fire or dry heat," early 15c., tost, from toast (v.1); originally as something added to wine, ale, etc. It is attested from 17c. as something eaten on its own with a spread. Tostie is attested from late 14c. as "toasted piece of bread, dish made with toast."
I probably oversold it but this seems more up my alley than yours

If someone didn't know what toast was, you'd have to use the word bread to tell them

you were limiting it to only bread when its very first etymology refers to any object

likewise pickles are literally anything preserved in brine
toast can refer to anything toasted it is by sheer coincidence its happened to land as meaning usually bread in english, hence the phrase "you're toast!"

"likewise pickles are literally anything preserved in brine"
If someone asked for pickles and you gave me pickled eggs or pickled cabbage do you think they'd be satisfied?

The two things I said are true
Etymologically the noun comes from the verb
The noun refers to bread that has been toasted
Both of those are backed up by the website

“The noun comes from the verb toast and meant” will not be followed up by what the verb means
It’s what the noun means
“Which meant” is what you’re looking for
