Honey and Cinnamon Italian Toasts

Cinnamon wakes you up in the morning and makes even the grouchiest morning people smile. :) My Honey Cinnamon Italian Toast is a bright and cinnamon-y toasts that is so delicious, I'd like you to imagine a crispy crust with a soft center and an aroma that will knock you off your grouch!

I am not a morning person, per se. People who have lived with me can tell you of the horrors of my morning grunts and groans. Okay, that probably didn't come out too well. But anyway, I needed a pick me upper before I had to leave the apartment.
I haven't told you guys yet but I made Ciabatta bread recently(basically a loaf of rustic italian bread); using the old fashion way and then I tried out the no-knead method as demonstrated in the NY Times. Here's what I think:

Traditional Method: Lots of kneading, hands aching, need to prepare bread sponge, dirty hands and the result: Excellent crusty bread with big holes.

No-Knead Method: Not much kneading, no aches, no need to prepare sponge, dirty hands, less time and the result: Excellent crusty bread with big holes.

So go with the No-Knead Method since the results are the same - Excellent Bread! No-knead method is great if you have a small kitchen, it'll save you a lot of problems cleaning up after and also it'll save you a lot of bumps from kneading.


Oh right, back to my Honey and Cinnamon Italian Toasts (Italian because I used Italian bread), it's really easy to do. What you need is slices of bread (normal loaf of bread works fine too). Oh let me just put the recipe down here instead.Recipe for Honey and Cinnamon Italian Toasts
2 slice of bread
1 tablespoon of butter (use good butter)
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder + 2 teaspoon sugar (mix well)
1 tablespoon of honey
a pinch of kosher salt
a flat pan

Method:
1. Spread butter on both sides of bread and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on both sides.
2. Heat pan on medium heat before tossing slices of bread in. Let it toast on the pan for 1-2 minutes. Check for readiness. If you like your toasts to be browner, leave it on a little longer. You want the sugar to caramelize to give you that beautiful smoky and caramel-like flavor.
3. Turn to the other side and repeat.
4. Set toasts on a serving plate and sprinkle a pinch of salt on both toasts.
5. Drizzle with luscious honey on top. Serve with hot tea or cold cold milk :)

Basically, there is no specific recipe for this. But the honey and cinnamon is the core ingredient. And that pinch of salt really brings out the flavor. Remember, salt is a flavor enhancer - a little bit of it goes a looooong way :)


THIS IS AN EGGLESS RECIPE.

And with this, I end this post with a cat in a paper bag:

I know you being in thereee!

p.s: I apologize for the lack of posts lately. I miss you guys too. I have been busy studying frankly, I have quite an important exam coming November :( But things should loosen up before the year is over. Until then posting might be sparse (saying this, might make me jam in a few posts after- I know myself!:P )
