Kopi Roti (Coffee Buns) - The Not So Creative Cook
Buns with a sweet buttery filling and topped with crisp coffee buttercream I love coffee. The smell alone makes me crazy (in a good way, of course). I used to drink up to one liter (or more) of coffee before. It doesn’t really wake me up, but it makes me feel happy. I stopped drinking when I started with green tea. Now, I drink coffee once a week or when meeting with friends in a coffee shop. Even I minimized my consumption of coffee, I’d always love coffee or anything with coffee – cakes, cupcakes, cookies, anything… you name it. Bread? Oh yesss! Have you heard of the famous Kopi Roti? Have you eaten one? I have tried one when I was invited by my friend to have coffee with her. I am telling you – I almost dissected the bun to know what’s inside or what it’s made of. Whenever I get to eat Kopi Roti, I always do the same thing. Ohhh! They are so delicious! They are buns with coffee buttercream topping! Uh-huh! Coffee buttercream topping. They are coffee lover’s dream. And oh, the buns are also filled with butter and sugar. I wish you could imagine what I am telling you. There are few steps required in making the Kopi Roti apart from mixing the dough – the making of the filling and the coffee buttercream topping. It might be time-consuming or too many procedures to follow, but every second is worth it. The filling and buttercream can be made ahead (that’s what I did). I was in heaven when the smell was coming out from the oven. I suggest that you make the filling and topping a night before making the dough as you need them in good texture and need to keep them in the fridge. Also, I find it easier and less work when both are prepared a night before (or two hours before). You do whatever is easier for you. Just keep in mind that you want the filling to reharden and the topping to set before using. Below are the steps I did: I hope you’ll enjoy these. I am taking these along with me at Fiesta Friday #214. Thanks to our co-hosts Abbey and Antonia.
