Heavenly Cinnamon Toast

Ingredients:

Sliced bread (white, wheat, or your preferred variety)

Unsalted butter, softened

Granulated sugar

Ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is preheating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, adjusting the ratio to your taste preference. A common ratio is 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together until well combined, ensuring there are no clumps of cinnamon.

3. Butter the Bread:

Spread a generous amount of softened butter onto each slice of bread, covering the entire surface evenly. The butter will help the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere to the bread and create a deliciously crispy crust.

4. Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar:

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered bread slices, ensuring that each slice is evenly coated with the sweet and aromatic blend.

Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently press the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the buttered surface of the bread, helping it adhere securely.

5. Bake to Perfection:

Place the prepared slices of cinnamon toast onto the lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each slice to allow for even baking.

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the cinnamon toast for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cinnamon-sugar topping is caramelized and fragrant.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Once baked to perfection, remove the cinnamon toast from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Serve the warm and crispy cinnamon toast on its own or with your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of honey, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
