Coffee Buns (Kopi Roti)

bread flour (-presifted)

sugar

salt

instant yeast

ml milk

unsalted butter (-softened)

butter

coffee powder (- See NOTE 2)

water

unsalted butter (-softened at room temperature)

egg (-room temperature. See NOTE 5)

dutch-processed cocoa powder (-optional)

cake flour

In a large bowl, mix together bread flour, sugar, and salt. Then sprinkle instant yeast and mix again.

Pour in lukewarm milk and add the beaten egg. Mix for a minute until a sticky dough forms. Add the softened butter and fold it into the dough with your hands until well combined. It will be very greasy in the beginning. As you knead the dough in the bowl, it will be less and less greasy or sticky. Knead for about 10-12 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it almost doubles in size.

Gently punch down the dough and tip it on a flour surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal parts.

Take one a piece of the dough and shape it in a small disk. Place a cube of frozen butter in the middle and enclose it by pulling the seams of the dough over and around it. Shape into a ball and place on  baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let at least 3-inch space around each buns as they will expand during the second rising and while baking.

Cover the shaped buns with kitchen towel and let them rise until they almost double in size. Meanwhile prepare the coffee buttercream topping.

TO MAKE THE DOUGH:

In a small bowl, dissolve the coffee powder in hot water. Set aside.

In a  bowl, cream the butter and sugar using a whisk or hand mixer (low speed). Add the egg and whisk until smooth but not frothy. Add the cocoa powder and mix again. Pour in the dissolved coffee and mix until well blended.

Sift the cake flour while adding it to the mixture. Fold in using a spatula until well combined. Transfer the mixture in a piping bag or a sandwich bag and cut a small opening.

COFFEE BUTTERCREAM TOPPING (while waiting for the dough to rise)

Preheat oven to 180°C/ 355°F.

Pipe a layer of coffee buttercream on top of each bun, in a coil-like pattern. Starting from the center going out until the top half is fully covered.

Bake the buns for 15 minutes. Turn of the heat and leave the buns in the oven  for another 10 minutes. Take them out and transfer to a cooling rack.

Serve the buns while still warm and enjoy with a cup of hot coffee or tea or chocolate.

INGREDIENTS
DOUGH:
▢2 1/2 cups bread flour - -presifted
▢3 tablespoons caster sugar - - or granulated sugar
▢1 teaspoon salt
▢1 tablespoon instant yeast
▢220 ml lukewarm milk
▢1 large egg - -beaten
▢60 grams unsalted butter - -softened

FILLING:
▢80 grams butter - -cut into 8 cubes and frozen. See NOTE 1

COFFEE CARAMEL TOPPING:
▢1 tablespoon strong instant coffee powder - - See NOTE 2
▢1 tablespoon hot water
▢60 grams unsalted butter - -softened
▢1/4 cup caster sugar - -or granulated sugar
▢1 large egg
▢1 teaspoon dutch-processed cocoa powder - -optional
▢2/3 cup cake flour - See NOTE 3

RECIPE NOTES
NOTE 1: Remember to freeze the butter for the filling after cutting them into cubes. This will ensure that they do not melt into the dough before baking.
NOTE 2: You can also use brewed coffee from ground coffee. Just make sure it is strong and not too watery, use about 1 1/2 tablespoon.
NOTE 3: If you do not have cake clour, just make one. Take a cup of all-purpose flour, and remove 2 tablespoons of it. Replace the 2 tablespoons with corn starch. Mix very well. Take 2/3 cup of this for the recipe.
NOTE 4: If you are not going to use the coffee topping immediately or it is too warm in your kitchen, refrigerate it so it will not melt. If you use it soft and melt as soon as you put the buns in the oven, the chances for a nice thick crispy top is lesser.

These Coffee Cinnamon Rolls make the most decadent breakfast or sweet snack - packed with delicious coffee and cinnamon flavours.

Coffee Cinnamon Rolls

180 ml (3/4 cup) Full Cream / Whole Milk

gr (1 1/2 tablespoon) Instant Coffee Granules

80 gr (1/3 cup) Caster Sugar

gr (2 teaspoon) Instant Yeast

Eggs

75 gr (5 tablespoons) Unsalted Butter (melted)

480 gr (3 cups + 4 tablespoons) Plain / All-Purpose Flour

Salt

120 gr (1/2 cup) Unsalted Butter (soft, at room temperature)

gr (1/2 cup) Brown Sugar

Cinnamon

gr (2 tablespoons) Instant Coffee Granules

150 gr (1 cup) Icing Sugar (sifted)

ml (2 tablespoons) Espresso (freshly brewed)

Place the warm Milk and Instant Coffee Granules in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until the coffee granules have dissolved then leave to cool down for until the milk is lukewarm. 

Mix in the Sugar and Instant Yeast, then leave for about 10 minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface. Stir in the Eggs and cooled down melted Butter.

Add the Flour and Salt. Using a spatula, quickly mix the dough to lightly combine the ingredients (it does not need to look smooth). Cover the bowl and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes - or up to an hour (see note 1).

With the dough hook, knead at a medium speed for about 10 minutes. Increase to high speed and knead for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the dough is very soft, stretchy and passes the &quot;windowpane test&quot; (see note 2).

Transfer the dough into a clean, lightly greased large bow. Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to proof for 8 to 10 hours - or overnight - until doubled in size (see note 3).

Coffee Dough

Line a large  26 x 38 cm (10 x 15-inch) baking pan with baking paper / parchment paper.

Place the very soft Butter, Brown Sugar and Cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a spatula, work the mixture until you get a thick paste consistency.

Punch the dough to deflate it and transfer it over a very lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it into a 30 x 40 cm rectangle (12 x 15 inch).

Spread the coffee cinnamon filling into an even layer over the rolled dough. Sprinkle the Coffee Granules or Instant Coffee Powder over the filling.

Tightly roll the long side of the dough to get a log shape. Using unflavoured floss or a bread knife, cut out 12 rolls that are about 3 cm thick each (1,2-inch). Gently transfer the coffee rolls into the prepared baking dish (see note 4).

Cover the dish with a tea towel and leave to proof at room temperature for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until almost doubled in size.

Preheat your oven on 180 degrees Celsius / 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until they have risen and are golden brown. Place the baking dish on a wire rack to cool down.

Coffee Cinnamon Filling

While the coffee rolls are cooling down, sift the Icing Sugar into a medium bowl. Prepare the espresso (or make the same quantity of instant coffee with boiling water). Pour the coffee over the icing sugar and mix until completely smooth.
