Ingredients

Soft coffee dough

✓ ¾ cup warm milk
✓ 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
✓ ¼ cup white sugar
✓ 1 large egg
✓ ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
✓ ¼ cup strongly brewed Rescue Roast® Signature Blend, cooled
✓ 3–3½ cups cake flour
✓ ½ teaspoon salt

Coffee-cinnamon filling

✓ ½ cup soft butter
✓ ¾ cup brown sugar
✓ 1½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
✓ 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
✓ Pinch of salt

Signature coffee glaze

✓ 1 cup icing sugar
✓ 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
✓ 1–2 tablespoons strongly brewed Rescue Roast® Signature Blend, cooled
✓ ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
✓ Pinch of salt

Method

  1. Pour the warm milk into a large mixing bowl.

  2. Add the yeast and sugar, then stir gently. Leave it for 5–10 minutes until slightly foamy.

  3. Add the egg, melted butter and cooled Rescue Roast® Signature Blend.

  4. Mix in three cups of flour and the salt.

  5. Add a little more flour as needed until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.

  6. Knead the dough for approximately 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  7. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it and leave it in a warm place for approximately 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

  8. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, instant coffee powder and salt together.

  9. Roll the risen dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

  10. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.

  11. Sprinkle the coffee-cinnamon mixture over the butter.

  12. Roll the dough up tightly from the longer side to form a log.

  13. Cut the log into 10–12 evenly sized rolls.

  14. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them.

  15. Cover and allow them to rise for another 30–40 minutes.

  16. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  17. Bake the rolls for approximately 22–28 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.

  18. Mix the icing sugar, cream cheese, vanilla essence and salt together.

  19. Gradually add the cooled Signature Blend until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

  20. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.

Rescue Roast® Coffee Tip

Use a strong, cooled brew in both the dough and glaze. Add the coffee to the glaze gradually, as too much liquid can make it runny.

For extra-soft rolls, avoid adding too much flour—the dough should remain soft and slightly tacky before rising.

Warm swirls, bold coffee and comfort baked with purpose. ☕🐾
