Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the egg, bread flour, salt, and softened butter. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover and let the dough rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into portions, flatten each, and place 5g butter in the center. Seal and roll into balls.
- Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking tray. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the mocha topping by beating butter, sugar, and egg together. Mix in flour, cocoa powder, and dissolved coffee. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Pipe the topping in a spiral pattern over each bun.
- Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
- For the tiramisu filling, beat cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Cool the buns slightly, then pipe in the tiramisu filling. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use strong instant coffee for a bold flavor.
- Let the dough rise properly for soft, fluffy buns.
- Don’t pipe the tiramisu filling into hot buns or it will melt.
- Bake until just golden to keep the buns tender inside.
