Brioche Cinnamon Buns with espresso cream cheese
I have been paying with brioche dough in the last few days using it to make brioche, sugar buns, burger buns and cinnamon rolls. Yesterday I made the dough a little different so I thought it’s worth sharing. The espresso cream cheese frosting is insane:). Love the coffee flavour.
Not sure what’s on the agenda today in the kitchen. I think maybe a good soup with odds and ends veggies I have in the fridge to go with a good sourdough bread. Let the games begin as Caesar would say.

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup flour
4 eggs, beaten to break yolks and mix
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- Espresso cream cheese
1 package cream cheese
1/3-1/2 cup icing sugar

1/4 cup butter softened to spreading consistency
1 cup brown sugar or more
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Directions

- Add the eggs and mix on low speed to blend.
- Begin adding the flour, a tablespoon at a time, adding enough flour until it is blended with the eggs.
- Add the butter and continue mixing, stopping a few times to scrape the dough from the sides of the bowl towards the center. Only ad much flor as it needs, not too much.
- Knead for 5 minutes until dough holds together and gathers around the dough hook.
- Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter and gather into a ball.
- Place the dough in a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubles in size.
- When the dough is ready roll it out into a rectangle about 10X16″ or so.
- Brush the rectangle with softened butter and cover with brown sugar. Sprinkle over the cinnamon.
- Roll the rectangle from the long end fairly tightly, stretching it a bit as you roll.
- Cut the roll into about 8-10 slices.
- Line a baking pan with parchment and butter the parchment. You can spray the pan a bit so the parchment sticks.
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the pan fairly close together.
- Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled.
- Bake in a preheated 375F oven until puffed and baked through, about 25 minutes.
- Remove and let cool.
