1️⃣ Make the Dough

1. In a large bowl, mix brioche flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
2. Add the egg and warm milk, then knead until a rough dough forms.
3. Gradually add softened butter, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).
4. Cover and let rise for 1.5–2 hours, until doubled in size.

2️⃣ Prepare the Coffee Topping

1. Dissolve instant coffee powder in hot water and let cool slightly.
2. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Mix in the coffee liquid, then add flour, stirring until smooth.
4. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.

3️⃣ Shape & Second Rise

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 10 equal pieces.
2. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes.

4️⃣ Pipe & Bake

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Pipe the coffee topping in a spiral pattern on top of each bun.
3. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and the topping is crispy.
