Nothing is more satisfying than a hot cuppa freshly brewed with hot from oven, freshly baked coffee buns to take my mind off, allow me to enjoy a little break.
The full-bodied aromatic flavour metamorphosed & filled the house while the buns were in the oven baking. The fragrance is strong enough to uplift spirit & excite one senses. If you are a coffee-holic like myself, you certainly loves these buns.
These buns smell like freshly-brewed coffee.
The amazing yeast working hard proofing the dough.
Really fun piping these swirl!
My children can gobble 4-5 pieces at one go! I used to buy these buns but not anymore eversince i knew how to made them. My family is my inspiration to learn new bakes everytime. I usually bake in large quantity on top of their craving & also to give it away to friends & neighbors who enjoy coffee.
Crispy outer crust, soft & fluffy inner sweet buns. We prefer it plain without butter or custard fillings.
I received couple of requests for the recipe for my Mocha Coffee Buns.
Here it is... Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteJessie, you pipe the topping before 2nd proofing? I always confuse in this part. TIA ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your sweet words :)
ReplyDeleteneyeeloh: Pipe the topping after the final proof ;)
OHHH MY GOD, you're an angel ^.^
ReplyDeletethnxxxxx i was searching around for a recipe,
i'll give it a try and let u know ;D
what is coffee paste?
ReplyDeletewht type of yeast did u use?
ReplyDeleteJessie,
ReplyDeletewhen you say combine the bread flour, yeast and salt together, do you mix them?
I thought I read somewhere that salt will kill the yeast?
Pls advise!! :)
Hanushi: I'm sorry i can't answer you on that. I'm not sure either. Read from books that salt help in the rising process, rather confusing. However, i followed the recipe that called for salt, my buns did rose beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Jessie...
ReplyDeleteThen for the combine the bread flour, yeast and salt together, do you mix them or do you just put them together (no mixing)?
Hanushi: does not matter. Either way will do. You can just mix them first before next step or simply like what i did by combining all follow by egg, milk & honey which you gonna knead till smooth.HTH.
ReplyDeleteThe buns looks yummy!! I shall try it one day. I also learnt that salt will kill the yeast. A baker told me that when we mix yeast and salt, it should be placed in different parts of the bowl so that the yeast does not have direct contact with the salt.
ReplyDeleteI did this coffee bun today....the dough is way too sticky that cant even hold together. I think the flour or milk is too much. Can you pls check the recipes again. I saw a blogger try this also....is same as mine.....sticky...
ReplyDeleteHi Jessie,
ReplyDeleteThis recipes is way too sticky......cant get the dough together. Pls check the ingredient again....thanks
The dough is way too sticky.....cant even hold together....that's either too much milk or not enough flour.. Pls verify... thanks
ReplyDeleteAnon: I have baked this many times always yields great results like what was shown here. Some tried it too and shared their success with me too. Eg, http://janechew.blogspot.com/2011/03/jessie-250-50-4-4-30180-210-225-50-30.html
ReplyDeleteSince this recipe was taken from a book, tried and tested too, there should not be an issue for the ingredients used. With no details given on your process, I can only make guesses that you did not knead the dough long enough to pliable, hence the stickyness. HTH.
Hi
ReplyDeleteThanks for your quick reply. I did mine in the bread machine.....I just dont understand. Will try again then..... Love your blog
I love buns!
