Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Lay the thick-sliced bread flat on a clean work surface.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until fully combined into a smooth spread.
Using a butter knife, spread an even layer of the brown sugar mixture generously over the top side of each slice of bread. Make sure to coat the entire surface for maximum caramelization.
Arrange the bread slices, sugar-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the slices are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the sugar mixture starts to bubble and forms a golden brown crust on top.
For an extra caramelized finish, if desired, turn the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the toast cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the crust to set slightly.
Serve immediately as is, or top with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey for additional indulgence.
