Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut bread (preferably brioche or challah)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fruit (like banana slices or berries)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If desired, add vanilla extract for an extra flavor punch. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

      Prepare the Bread: Take the thick slices of bread and spread a generous tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each slice, ensuring an even cover.

        Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle an even layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered side of each slice of bread, pressing down gently to ensure it sticks well.

          Bake: Place the coated slices butter-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the sugar has caramelized slightly.

            Broil for Extra Crisp: Optional – if you like your cinnamon toast extra crispy, switch on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

              Serve and Add Toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the toast to cool for a minute, then serve warm. Optional toppings like powdered sugar dusting, maple syrup drizzle, or fresh fruit can elevate the experience.

                Enjoy: Dive into your childhood with this delightful cinnamon toast, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack!
