Tiramisu Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Soft, fluffy, and indulgent perfect for pang-negosyo or pang-bahay!
Ingredients:
Dough:
180ml–200ml lukewarm water
2 tsp instant dry yeast
75 grams sugar
1 whole egg
500 grams Pilmico Bread Flour (Kutitap)
1 tsp salt
80 grams unsalted butter (room temp or cold)
Filling:
70–80 grams room temp butter
150 grams light brown sugar
2–4 tbsp cinnamon powder (adjust to taste)
Coffee Mixture (for soaking):
1/2 cup water
2 tsp coffee emulco
Cream Cheese Topping:
250 grams cream cheese, softened
1 cup sifted icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp all-purpose cream
Note: Double all ingredients for 1 kilo of flour as shown in the video.
Procedure:
Start by activating the yeast: mix lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes or until foamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the egg and the activated yeast mixture. Begin kneading until a shaggy dough forms. Add the butter gradually and knead until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. This may take around 10–15 minutes by hand or 8 minutes using a stand mixer.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size — about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened butter evenly across the surface. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over the buttered dough.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into even pieces, around 1.5 inches thick. Place them in a greased baking pan, leaving enough space for expansion. Let the rolls rise again for another 30–45 minutes until puffy.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 18–22 minutes or until lightly golden.
While still warm, brush or drizzle the coffee emulco mixture over the tops of the rolls to give that tiramisu depth of flavor.
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sifted icing sugar, vanilla, and all-purpose cream. Mix until light and fluffy. Spread or pipe generously over the slightly cooled rolls.
Dust with cocoa powder before serving to complete the tiramisu experience.
Tip: For ultra-soft bread, avoid overbaking. Cover loosely with foil if the tops brown too quickly.
