Coffee Lovers: Coffee Cinnamon Roll Recipe

What is your favorite bread or pastries to pair up with your coffee?

Almost all pastries can perfectly pair with coffee, but we say that cinnamon rolls are one of the best among them all.

Cinnamon rolls are a sweet roll of bread that is popular in Northern Europe, North America, and Denmark, which the bread is known as “Kanelsnegl.” Cinnamon rolls nowadays are widely popularized worldwide and served to all coffee shops. This pastry is a favorite among coffee lovers to pair with their coffee because of its robust and sweet flavor that perfectly complements a brewed coffee or a cappuccino.

For our weekend coffee treat this week we will be making a Coffee Lovers: Coffee Cinnamon Roll that will be perfect for a family get together on a Sunday afternoon.

• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 and 1/4 tsp dry active yeast (or 1 envelope)

Filling:

Directions:

For the Rolls:

1. Heat the milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let sit for a minute, until its all moist.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, add the milk, yeast, eggs, butter, flour, salt, and sugar.
3. Mix until a ball of dough forms. Continue to knead for another 5 minutes.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size.

Filling:

1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. Melt the butter.
2. Roll dough into a 16×21-inch rectangle. Brush the dough with the butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up the dough and cut into 12 pieces.
3. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
   

Glaze:

1. While rolls are baking, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
2. The glaze should be thick, but pour-able. Adjust to taste as needed.
3. Generously drizzle glaze on warm rolls.
4. Make sure you completely cover the tops and sides.
5. The buns will absorb some of the glazes as they sit and cool.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
