- Assemble the French Toast:
- Take one slice of bread and spread a generous layer of jam or jelly on one side. Place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and jam.

- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
- In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon (if using).
- Coat the French Toast:
