Main Ingredients- 1 thick bread loaf
- 40g butter (softened at room temperature)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of cinnamon powder (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, using a bread knife, carefully trim off the browned crust from the edges of the thick bread loaf as thinly as possible. This step helps to highlight the soft interior texture of the bread.
Step 2
Slice the remaining white interior of the bread diagonally into thick pieces. Aim for slices about 1.5-2 cm thick, as very thin slices can easily break apart.
Step 3
Cut these thick bread slices into four portions, resembling triangular rice balls (wider at the base and narrower at the top). This shape makes them look more appealing after baking.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon powder (adjusting the amount to your preference). Mix well with a fork or spoon to create your cinnamon-sugar topping.
Step 5
Soften the 40g of butter by leaving it at room temperature or by microwaving it for about 1 minute until fully melted. Ensure the melted butter is warm enough to spread easily.
Step 6
Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the entire surface of each thick bread slice with the melted butter. Make sure to cover every nook and cranny for maximum flavor.
Step 7
Generously sprinkle the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered sides of the bread. You can pat it on gently with your fingers or lightly shake the bread to distribute the mixture.
Step 8
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Arrange the coated bread slices in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Place them in the preheated air fryer set to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 6 minutes.
Step 9
After 6 minutes, carefully flip the bread slices over. Cook the other side at the same temperature (180°C / 350°F) for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and toasted to your liking. (Adjust cooking time and temperature based on your air fryer’s specifications.)
Step 10
Freshly baked, these thick toasts boast a delightful ‘crispy outside, fluffy inside’ texture. The sweet sugar crystals offer a fun crunch, while the warm cinnamon aroma enhances the overall experience. Enjoy this delicious treat with a warm cup of coffee or milk!
