Ingredients

  • 450 gm all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 50 gm butter melted
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 200 ml lukewarm milk
  • FOR FILLING:
  • 50 gm butter softened
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • FOR ICING:
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Sift together the flour and salt into the mixer bowl.
  • Stir in yeast and sugar. Make a well in the center.
  • In a jug, whisk together butter, egg and milk and pour into the centre.
  • Bring together to form a ball and start kneading into a soft dough, adding flour little by little in case needed (I used a stand mixer and didn't add any extra flour.)
  • Lightly oil the bowl and put the dough into it. Cover with cling film and allow the dough to double in size, around one hour.
  • As the dough is nearing full rising, whisk together the ingredients for the filling till a smooth paste and set aside.
  • Grease an 8 inch square pan well.
  • Take the proofed dough and slight knead for a couple of minutes. Roll out on a floored surface into a 30 cm square.
  • Spread the filling all over evenly. Tightly roll from one side to the other.
  • Cut into equal 9 peices using a sharp knife and arrange into the greased tray.
  • Cover and allow the rolls to proof again for 40-50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes till the top is golden brown.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then slowly transfer onto a wire rack for cooling.
  • Whisk the icing sugar with little milk till a thick paste and spread on the rolls. Serve warm!
