Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'orange' (the flavor/ingredient) with 'toast' (toasted bread); it denotes toast flavored or topped with orange. This is a regular noun–noun compounding pattern (like 'lemon cake' or 'garlic bread') that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the sense.
Etymology
Orange toast likely comes from a simple breakfast dish: warm toast spread with butter, sugar and grated orange peel with a little orange juice for a sweet orange topping. So, the name simply describes the food and that's why it means 'toasted bread with orange flavour'.
