Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee powder with 1/4 cup of warm water. Stir until dissolved, and set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium-low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, active dry yeast, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk-butter mixture, dissolved coffee, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, kneading the dough after each addition, until a soft and elastic dough forms. This may take 8-10 minutes of kneading by hand (or 5-6 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook).

Step 6

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

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared pan and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

For an optional garnish, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
