Trouble Coffee Cinnamon Toast
There was once an incredible coffes shop in the Outer Sunset called Trouble Coffee. They had cinnamon bread that was exquisite. This recipe is my humble attempt to recreate the spirit of that iconic cinnamon toast, focusing on a quick toasting method followed by a generous application of softened butter and a simple, aromatic cinnamon, sugar, and cardamom topping. I'm not sure if they used brioche, challah or something else, but I keep hoping I'll run into someone who knows.
