Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, slightly warmed
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Tangzhong from the recipe above
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 5 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, or light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 2 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Instructions

1. 1. Make the Tangzhong: In a small saucepan, whisk together the flour and water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened into a paste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2. Make the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, instant coffee granules, egg, vanilla extract, and the prepared Tangzhong. Mix until combined, then add the butter one tablespoon at a time until incorporated. Knead with a dough hook for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3. 3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1–1.5 hours.

4. 4. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and coffee granules until smooth and spreadable.

5. 5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (about 14×18 inches). Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal rolls. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

6. 6. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again until puffy, about 45 minutes.

7. 7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. 8. Make the Frosting: Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and instant coffee, and mix until creamy.

9. 9. Serve: Spread the frosting over the warm rolls and enjoy!

Notes

To ensure your Coffee Rolls turn out beautifully, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

– Adjust the Coffee Flavor: If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, feel free to increase the amount of instant coffee granules in both the filling and the frosting. Conversely, if you’d like a milder coffee taste, reduce the amount.

– Prevent Overbrowning: Keep a close eye on the rolls during the baking process, and if they start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent further browning.

– Storing Leftover Rolls: Store any leftover Coffee Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the rolls for up to 2 months, thawing them at room temperature before serving.
