Cinnamon toast..,well yeast in general is a comfort food at work
If we are on the verge of collapse we look at each other and say " I need toast!"
It is crunchy Xanax for stressed out nurses, doctors ect..
So tomorrow is a going away for a dearly loved girl
I am making her lemon cheesecake squares
But I want to bring cinnamon toast
We have a toaster
But can I step this up to a nice breakfast appetizer that can sit out stay crunchy ? I have on the counter a couple of thawing loaves of basic WW sandwich bread
Unsalted butter and fresh cinnamon sugar
I was thinking croustini but the technique for that done right eludes me still
Any ideas, you guys are awesome thank you!
I'm not really sure what you are looking for but I make cinnamon toast by coating a slice of bread with a thin layer of butter making sure to get all the way to the edges. Then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and place on a sheet pan and put it under a slow broiler and browning it slowly. It will be crisp on the top side and soft on the bottom. We eat ours right away, I'm sure how well it would travel.
sound like a healthy treat. A much better alternative is to take brioche, toast it, then quickly cover it in spreadable chocolate ganache with mini marshmallows on top and then another piece of toasted brioche :-) Most of time I don't waste the time and effort to even toast the brioche and just build it and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds ! Well, OK. Maybe it isn't as healthy as cinnamon toast but it would make for a nice contrasting counterpoint - No?
How about the recipe for Cinnamon Bread in Bread Baker's Apprentice? It tastes great even if untoasted and could probably sit out for a while (though it probably won't last long, since it is so tasty!).

I'd go there... I think you could turn out a dough quickly and bake up this beauty.
