Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 5 g Salt
- 120 ml Warm water
- 100 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 g Vegan butter, melted
- 10 g Instant coffee powder
- 50 g Creamy peanut butter
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, unsweetened almond milk, and melted vegan butter. Slowly incorporate these wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Prepare the coffee topping by dissolving the instant coffee powder in 1 tablespoon of hot water. In a small bowl, mix the coffee solution with peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leave some space between each ball to allow them to expand.
Using a piping bag, pipe the coffee topping in a spiral from the center to the edge of each dough ball.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Allow the buns to sit and rise for another 10 minutes as the oven preheats.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the coffee topping is crisp.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
