Preheat your broiler on high and adjust the oven rack to be about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (if using). Set aside.
In a separate bowl, soften the butter slightly and mix in the vanilla extract (if using).
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread, covering the entire surface.
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the butter on each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage.
Place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet, sugared side facing up.
Broil the bread slices for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and formed a bubbly, golden-brown crust. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the cinnamon toast cool slightly (1-2 minutes) before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
