These rolls are a great recipe for a picnic as you can make them in advance for the next day. You can make the dough for your cinnamon rolls by hand, or in the bread machine on a dough cycle. Just make sure that you follow the instructions for your bread machine when putting in the liquids.
Sweet Coffee and Cinnamon Rolls
Makes 12
Dough
¾ cup warm 2% milk
¼ cup warm espresso coffee - Investing in a drip coffee maker can help you get really good quality coffee to put in your dough.
⅓ cup melted butter
4 ½ cups strong white bread flour
½ cup superfine sugar
2 ½ teaspoons quick dried yeast
Filling
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup soft butter
- It is important that you don’t add your coffee in whilst it is really hot, but warm coffee will help start the rising process and activate the yeast.
- Combine the ingredients in a bowl, mixing to form a dough.
- Knead until smooth an elastic. If you are making this by hand, then you may need to add a little extra flour whilst kneading.
- When you have made your dough, leave it in a bowl and cover with saran wrap. Leave the bowl in a warm, dry place for 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, put it on a clean, floured work surface and roll it gently into rectangle, approximately 16x24.
- Mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Spread the softened butter all over your dough, then sprinkle over the cinnamon/brown sugar mixture.
- Roll the dough up lengthwise and cut into 12 equal pieces. Put these into a greased 13x9 pan, cover leave to rise for a further hour.
- Heat the oven to 400F
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until the tops of the rolls are nice and brown.
- Put them onto a cooling rack.
- You may wish to leave the rolls plain, but for a great glaze simply combine 3 cups of confectioners (powdered) sugar with ⅓ cup of freshly brewed coffee and spread nice and thick over the rolls.
