Baked this at home and the whole kitchen smells so aromatic due to the coffee. This Rotiboy-copycat coffee bun is basically a bread filled with butter and topped with crisp coffee crust. Super delicious especially when baked fresh.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Youtu.be/fq8QbLdpBbE

* Step 2

Bread dough: combine warm milk and 4 grams of sugar. Then sprinkle the yeast on top of the liquid and let sit for 5-10 minutes until it gets foamy.

* Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the foamy yeast and the egg. Combine well.

* Step 4

Transfer dough onto a work surface. Add the softened butter and knead until it is fully incorporated. It will be messy at first but as long as we keep kneading, the dough will become less greasy and easier to handle.

* Step 5

Knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and not tacky.

* Step 6

Coat the dough ball with vegetable oil. Place it in a large bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let sit for about 1 hour in a warm area until it doubles in size.

* Step 7

Filling: Divide the cold butter into 6 cubes (6 grams each). Refrigerate until needed.

* Step 8

Coffee layer: Dilute instant coffee with hot water. Set aside to cool.

* Step 9

Cream butter until smooth. Add sugar and mix until it is fully incorporated. Mix in the egg, then the coffee solution.

* Step 10

Add sifted flour and mix just until combined. Transfer the batter into a piping bag equipped with a round tip (0.5 cm in diameter).

* Step 11

Assembly: Once the dough is doubled in size, punch out the air. Transfer it onto a work surface and divide into 7 equal pieces. Roughly round up 6 of them and set aside with a cover to prevent drying.

* Step 12

Divide the last piece into 6 equal pieces. Take a piece and flatten it with your palm. Place 1 of the cubed butter filling on the center. Wrap it tight with the dough. Repeat with the rest.

* Step 13

Now flatten one of the big pieces. Onto its center, place the wrapped butter with the seam side down. Wrap it tight, then place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the rest.
