Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Heat the milk until warm to the touch but not hot (about 110°F/45°C).

Step 3

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the flour mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5–6 minutes.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x10-inch rectangle.

Step 8

Spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

Step 9

Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape it into a ring. Pinch the ends together to close the circle.

Step 11

Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, make cuts three-quarters of the way into the ring at 1-inch intervals. Gently twist each segment outward to expose the swirls.

Step 12

Cover the shaped dough with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 13

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 14

Bake the coffee ring for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 15

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffee ring before serving.
