Baked Cinnamon Toast for a Crowd
This baked cinnamon toast is the easiest way to make a big batch of caramelized toast points to serve family style for a weekend brunch or holiday feast.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 8 - 12 slices white bread
- 12 - 16 tablespoons butter softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a large sheet pan near your working surface.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Working one slice of bread at a time, generously spread the softened butter evenly over both sides of the bread. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top and gently spread it to coat the entire surface with a clean butter knife. Repeat on the other side.
- Lay each sugared piece of bread on the baking sheet. Arrange them in a single layer, no pieces should overlap. If you need more space, use a second baking sheet.
- Bake the toast for 8 - 10 minutes or until the butter has melted and the edges begin to brown.
- To finish the crispy coating, place the sheetpan of toast under the broiler for just 1 minute or so to get the sugar bubbling hot. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
- Repeat as needed with the remaining sheet pans of toast. Slice the toast on the diagonal and serve on a tray for your buffet.
