Ingredients
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup warm milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, eggs, and instant coffee powder.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air bubbles, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.
7. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
8. Cover the pan and let the buns rise for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
11. Serve the Winter Coffee Brioche Buns warm, with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel, if desired.
Notes
For a more intense coffee flavor, you can increase the amount of instant coffee powder to 3 tablespoons. These buns can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
