Transform your freshly baked bread machine loaf into an irresistible treat with this quick and easy Cinnamon Sugar Topping recipe. In just five minutes, a trio of simple ingredients—granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter—combine to create a sweet, spiced crust that elevates warm bread to bakery-quality deliciousness. The buttery base allows the cinnamon sugar mixture to adhere perfectly, creating a caramelized finish that’s both flavorful and texturally satisfying. This effortless topping is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat, and it pairs beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee or tea. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your homemade bread or surprise your family with something special, this cinnamon sugar twist will become a household favorite.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the cinnamon throughout the sugar.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until fully liquid. Be careful not to overheat.
Once the bread has finished baking in your bread machine, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a cooling rack or plate.
While the bread is still warm, use a pastry brush to evenly coat the top of the loaf with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered top of the bread, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the topping into the crust if desired.
Allow the bread to cool slightly so the topping sets before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
