Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 250 ml Milk (1 cup + 1/4 cup)
- 1 tbsp Instant Yeast (10g)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar (80g)
- 1 pinch of Salt
- 90g Melted and Cooled Butter
- 1 Room Temperature Egg
- 1 packet of Vanilla
- 4-4.5 Cups Flour (added gradually)
For the Filling:
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Instant Coffee
- 4 tbsp Softened Butter (75g)
For the Frosting:
- 3 heaping tbsp Cream Cheese (Labne, 90g)
- 3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar (90g)
- 45g Softened Butter
- Coffee to taste (I used Nescafe dissolved in hot water)
Instructions:
- Dough Preparation:
- Mix warm milk with sugar and yeast. Add butter and egg. Begin incorporating 3.5 cups of flour along with vanilla and salt. Knead for 10-15 minutes (6-7 minutes if using a stand mixer). Gradually add remaining flour to form a slightly sticky dough. Oil your hands to shape it. Let it rise in a covered bowl for 30-45 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and instant coffee. You can spread the butter on the dough first and then sprinkle this mixture over it.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling, and roll it up. Cut into 2-3 inch pieces and place them on a baking tray, slightly apart. Let them rise for an additional 15 minutes. Bake at 180°C until lightly golden.
- Make the Frosting:
- Whip butter and powdered sugar. Add cream cheese and then gradually mix in the coffee.
- Final Touches:
- Pour the frosting over the rolls and serve. For rolls that won't be eaten immediately, freeze without frosting and add it just before serving.
