Delicious and fluffy coffee buns filled with a rich coffee filling and topped with a sweet coffee glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for filling)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled (for filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for filling)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon brewed coffee (for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the coffee filling by mixing the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, cooled brewed coffee, cinnamon, and softened butter in a bowl until smooth.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the coffee filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the dough pieces in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the buns are baking, prepare the topping by whisking together the powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the buns are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the coffee topping over the warm buns. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the filling.
- Try adding chocolate chips or nuts to the filling for extra texture and taste.
