BEST CINNAMON TOAST EVER

Provided by Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Categories     Bread     Breakfast     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup unsalted butter, well softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
4 slices bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. You'll need the butter to be pretty soft to get it all combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over one side of each of the 4 pieces of bread, being sure to cover all the way up to the edges of the bread. It's going to seem like a lot, but trust me.
  • Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Next turn the broiler on and broil the toast until it is deep golden brown and the sugar is bubbling. I usually stand right at the oven with the door cracked so I can watch it best and prevent it from burning.
  • Slice in halves, if desired, and serve.

BEST CINNAMON TOAST



Best Cinnamon Toast image

My mother is not a great cook. That said, cinnamon toast is hard to mess up, and it truly is one of her best "home cooked" dishes, so it owns a small corner of my heart. Here, I take the toast a couple of steps further: I soak buttered and toasted bread in cinnamon sugar syrup, which gives the toast an almost custardy quality. Then I press the sticky side of the bread into cinnamon sugar and fry the bread in butter so the sugar caramelizes around the edges and becomes almost candy-like.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
3 cinnamon sticks
Four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick slices Pullman loaf or whole wheat bread
8 tablespoons (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Confectioners' (icing) sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Make the cinnamon syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cinnamon sticks, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) water and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cinnamon is very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool (the syrup can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks).
  • 2. Make the toast: Using 3-4 tablespoons of the butter, coat both sides of each piece of bread. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet (frying pan) over medium heat. Place the bread in the skillet and set a large heat-safe plate or cake pan on top of the bread--it should fit inside the skillet. If the plate isn't very heavy, weigh it down with a few cans of beans or tomatoes. Cook until the bread is golden brown, 2-3 minutes (weighting the bread helps the entire surface area of the crumb come into contact with the hot fat and the hot pan, ensuring a nice even golden-brown toast). Remove the weights and the plate and flip the bread over, then continue to brown the second side, about 1 1/2-2 minutes longer. Brush a generous amount of cinnamon syrup over one side of each slice (add enough syrup to saturate the bread without making it soggy).
  • 3. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon until combined, then transfer all but 2 teaspoons of it to a plate. Dip each piece of toast, syrup side down, in the cinnamon sugar.
  • 4. In a large skillet (frying pan), melt the remaining 2-3 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and place the toast, sugared side down, in the skillet. Set a large heat-safe plate on top of the toast to press it down (place one or two cans of beans on top to weight it down). Cook until the edges of the bread are caramelized and the sugar is completely melted and glistening across the surface of the bread, 3-4 minutes.
  • 5. Serve each slice of toast caramelized side up and sprinkled with some of the reserved cinnamon sugar and, if desired, confectioners' sugar.

CINNAMON TOAST



Cinnamon Toast image

The ingredients for cinnamon toast - bread, cinnamon, sugar and butter - have remained largely unchanged since the recipe first appeared in 15th century Europe, where it was introduced as a less expensive version of French toast. Some variations call for adding the cinnamon and sugar before toasting, others after. The secret to achieving a cinnamon toast that's both gooey and crunchy? A combination of both methods. Toast the bread in butter in a skillet, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, flip so the sugar caramelizes, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar when it's done. Toasting the bread in a skillet (like French toast) produces browned butter, which adds nutty warmth.

Time 10m

Yield 4 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons granulated or brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
Unsalted butter, for cooking
4 slices of bread, such as white, whole wheat or brioche

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
  • Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
  • Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the cinnamon-sugar filling without getting soggy. Thick-sliced white, wheat, or sourdough bread are great options.
  • Generously Butter the Bread: Don't skimp on the butter! It helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere to the bread and creates a crispy, golden crust.
  • Use a Mixture of Sugars: Combining granulated sugar and brown sugar creates a more complex flavor and texture. The brown sugar adds a slight caramel note and chewiness.
  • Add Spices for Extra Flavor: Don't just limit yourself to cinnamon. Experiment with other spices like nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger for a unique twist.
  • Don't Overcook the Toast: Keep an eye on the toast while it's cooking to prevent it from burning. The ideal doneness is when the edges are golden brown and the center is warm and soft.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Take your cinnamon toast to the next level with a variety of toppings. Butter, cream cheese, maple syrup, and fresh berries are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon toast is a simple yet satisfying breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few basic ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a delicious and comforting treat that will warm your heart and soul.
