# Expert Pointers:
01 -
- It uses ingredients you already have sitting in your pantry right now.
- The edges get crispy and caramelized in a way that plain toast never will.
- It feels indulgent without any guilt or effort.
02 -
- If you skip softening the butter, you'll rip the bread trying to spread it and the coverage will be patchy.
- Don't walk away during baking because it can go from perfect to burnt in under a minute.
03 -
- Use a pastry brush to spread the butter if you want perfectly even coverage without tearing the bread.
- Make a big batch of the cinnamon sugar mix and keep it in a jar so you can make this anytime without measuring.
