I mean, you can make toast the first time you cook it, if you do it at the wrong temperature and for too long. Also, it definitely won't be toasted evenly.

Still you'd end up with enough toast that you could try it out and see if you liked it, before anyone had invented it. Since this happens by accident all the time, it's reasonable to assume we've known about toast exactly as long as we've known about bread.

Toast is where the sliced non crust part of the bread gets cooked. You can't make toast when originally cooking because you just end up with thicker darker crust. The inside of over baked does not become toast.
