Description
Indulge in the ultimate cozy treat with these soft, buttery Winter Coffee Brioche Buns. Infused with the rich aroma of coffee, these buns are perfect for a leisurely morning or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup warm milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 tablespoons brewed coffee, cooled
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the warm milk, eggs, and softened butter. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, knead the dough until it forms a smooth, elastic ball, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball.
5. Place the dough balls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Brush the tops of the dough balls with the cooled brewed coffee.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra touch of decadence, brush the warm buns with melted butter and sprinkle with a little cinnamon-sugar mixture.
