Cinnamon toast is a classic breakfast treat that’s simple, delicious, and brings warmth to your morning. Here’s a detailed recipe with all the steps to create the perfect cinnamon toast:
Ingredients
- Bread: Use your favorite bread; white, wheat, sourdough – whatever you prefer.
- Butter: Softened to room temperature.
- Ground Cinnamon: For that signature flavor.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and texture.
Equipment:
- Toaster or Oven: For toasting the bread.
- Butter knife or spatula: To spread butter.
- Small bowl
- Measuring spoons
Preparation
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
Ensure you have all the ingredients handy before you start. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if using the oven method.
Step 2: Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1-2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, adjusting to your taste preferences. Set this mixture aside.
Step 3: Toast the Bread
Toast the bread slices until they’re golden brown and crisp. You can use a toaster or arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 4: Butter the Toast
Once the bread is toasted, use a butter knife or spatula to spread a generous amount of softened butter on one side of each slice while they’re still warm. The warmth of the toast helps the butter melt and spread evenly.
