Coffee Cinnamon Rolls Recipe: Whip up these irresistible Coffee Cinnamon Rolls that not only taste divine but also echo your eco-conscious spirit by using locally sourced ingredients.

Ingredients

Dough

• 1 -2 of your fave P&P pods extracted using the long shot (= 1 cup of water)

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 packet instant yeast

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 large egg

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Filling

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

• 2 tbsp melted butter

Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1-2 tbsp coffee

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

How to Make the Ultimate Coffee Cinnamon Rolls

(Because your morning coffee deserves a side of cinnamon-swirled perfection.)

Step 1: Activate That Yeast

Warm your milk 110°F and stir in your extracted P&P coffee. Add yeast and let it get frothy for 5-10 minutes. (Think of it like a pre-party - if there’s no foam, the yeast isn't feeling the vibe yet!)

Step 2: Make the Dough

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mix, eggs, and butter, then knead until smooth and slightly tacky. (Think soft but not sticky - like a firm handshake, not a death grip.) Cover and let it rise for an hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 3: Roll and Fill

Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 30x40cm). Spread with butter like you mean it, then sprinkle with a sinful amount of cinnamon sugar. (Go heavy - there's no such thing as too much.)

Step 4: Slice and Rise

Roll it up tight and slice into 12 even pieces. Arrange them in a greased baking dish, leaving some room to grow. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes. (Patience - it’s worth it.)

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and your kitchen smells like absolute heaven.

Step 6: Glaze & Devour

Whisk powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and vanilla into a thick drizzle. Pour over warm rolls, watch it melt into every crevice, and try not to eat them all in one sitting. (We won’t judge.)
