Did you know? Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree. The bark is harvested during the rainy season when it’s more pliable. When dried, it curls into long quills, which are either cut into lengths and sold as cinnamon sticks, or ground into powder.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)

Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
