📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the water and flour. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes until the mixture is a paste-like slurry. Scrape it into a bowl and set it aside until ready to use.
2
In a microwave-safe cup, gently warm the milk and cream until it feels warm (not hot). Stir in the instant coffee until dissolved. Set aside.
3
In a stand mixer bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the egg, tangzhong, and the coffee milk/cream mixture to the bowl. Knead on low speed with the dough hook for ⏱️ 2 minutes, until the dough forms a rough ball.

4
With the mixer running on low, add the butter one tablespoon at a time, letting it fully incorporate before adding more. Then, continue kneading for an additional ⏱️ 12 minutes, until the dough appears smooth and elastic. Set aside while you make the filling.
5
In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and instant coffee with a spoon until smooth.
ground cinnamon1 tablespoon
6
Line a metal 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
7
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 21×15 rectangle. Spread the brown sugar filling across the entire surface of the dough.
8
Use a pizza cutter to cut twelve 1 3/4-inch strips. Roll each strip away from you, then place each one into the prepared baking pan.
9
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and set it aside to rise for ⏱️ 1-2 hours, or until the rolls have doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325°F (162 °C).
10
Bake for ⏱️ 30-40 minutes, or until the center roll's internal temperature reaches 185°F.
11
While the rolls are baking, make the frosting. Lightly warm the cream and stir in the instant coffee to dissolve. Set aside to cool completely before using.
12
In a stand mixer bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter until smooth and lump-free. Then mix in the powdered sugar. Keep beating on low speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, then mix in the heavy cream/coffee mixture and the vanilla. Spread over the tops of the rolls and enjoy!
