1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan oven 180°C, Gas Mark 6.
2. Make the topping: In a food processor, add the bread and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a medium bowl and stir in the muscovado or light brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the melted butter, stir well to combine, then set aside.
