Ingredients:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1 tablespoon condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coffee cream;
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
. In a bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Knead until a soft dough forms.
. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls. Place on a baking sheet and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
. Dissolve instant coffee in a little hot water and add it to the whipped cream.
. Add sugar and vanilla extract to the coffee-infused cream, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
. Generously top each Papparoti bun with the coffee-flavored cream.
. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cream has a delightful hint of caramelization.
Enjoy the heavenly aroma and irresistible taste of homemade Papparoti!
