Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm whole milk, active dry yeast, and granulated white sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a stand mixer, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and dark brown sugar thoroughly.
- Add the bloomed yeast mixture to the dry ingredients along with eggs and softened unsalted butter. Mix on low speed, then increase to medium and knead for 7-10 minutes until smooth.
- Transfer the kneaded dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the coffee caramel sauce by mixing unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Spread in a greased baking pan.
- Combine softened unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl for the filling. Mix until smooth and spread on rolled-out dough.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal rolls. Place swirled side up on the caramel sauce in the prepared pan.
- Cover the pan with a towel and let rolls proof for 1 hour until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the rolls for 29-34 minutes until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Make the frosting by combining unsalted butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
