Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For ring:
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon (half of a 3-inch stick)
1/2 recipe croissant dough (1 lb 6 oz), chilled
1 large egg, beaten
For streusel topping:
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) frozen unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Special Equipment
parchment paper, a ruler, a pastry brush, a garbage bag (unscented)

Steps:

  • Prepare ring:
  • Butter a 24-centimeter (about 9-inch) springform pan and line with a round of parchment paper. Butter paper and remove side of pan.
  • Stir together sugars and cinnamon.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as necessary, into a 24- by 9-inch rectangle. Brush off excess flour with pastry brush and trim edges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
  • Arrange dough so that a long side is nearest you and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over dough, leaving a 1-inch border along bottom edge. Brush border with some beaten egg and chill remaining egg. Fold top edge of dough over about 1 inch. Using both hands, roll dough toward you: Use your thumbs to tuck dough under and tighten as you go, working your way down entire length of log (as when rolling up a poster), and gently rock dough back and forth to keep it taut and even. When finished, roll log back and forth over seam to seal.
  • Transfer log, seam side down, to bottom of springform pan, bringing both ends of log together to make a ring. Beginning 2 inches from where ends meet, make vertical cuts from outside of ring toward center at 2-inch intervals, cutting halfway through ring.
  • Let ring rise:
  • Attach side of pan and slide pan into garbage bag, propping up top of bag with inverted glasses to keep it from touching dough, then tuck open end under pan. Let ring rise until slightly puffy and spongy to the touch, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Make streusel while ring is rising:
  • Blend flour and sugar in a food processor. Add frozen butter and pulse until very finely chopped. Chill streusel until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Gently brush top and center of ring with some of remaining beaten egg, then sprinkle with streusel. Bake in middle of oven until top is browned and streusel is crisp, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edge to loosen and remove side of pan.

Categories     Breads

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups milk, scalded
2 packages dry yeast
3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, beaten
6 cups flour (more or less)
1 1/2 cups margarine or 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
3 tablespoons cinnamon
3 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Cool milk to warm (110 degrees).
  • Sprinkle yeast on top of milk and let stand to soften.
  • Cream shortening and margarine.
  • Add sugar and salt and cream until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, yeast milk and enough flour to make a soft dough.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic on lightly floured board.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
  • Roll dough thin (1/4 inch) and cut into rounds with a 2 inch round cutter Dip each round into melted margarine, then into cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Stand rounds up in 2 well buttered ring molds 8 1/2"X 2 1/4".
  • Let rise until light (about 1/2 hour).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
  • Cool slightly before turning out.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly ground coffee. Using pre-ground coffee will result in a less flavorful coffee ring.
  • If you don't have a coffee grinder, you can use instant coffee. Just dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee in 1/4 cup of hot water before adding it to the dough.
  • To make sure the coffee ring is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the coffee ring is done.
  • Let the coffee ring cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use dark roast coffee. Just be careful not to over-roast the coffee, as this can make it bitter.
  • If you want a sweeter coffee ring, you can add more sugar to the dough. Just be careful not to add too much sugar, as this can make the dough too dense.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the dough, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit. Just be careful not to add too many ingredients, as this can make the dough too heavy.

Conclusion:

The cinnamon coffee ring is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful dough, sweet and creamy filling, and crunchy streusel topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give this recipe a try.
