Directions
- Add the instant coffee and cacao powder to the milk and mix until completely dissolved.
- Add all the liquid ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix, then add the dry ones. Make sure the salt dosen't come in contact with the yeast as this will stop the proofing.
- Knead the dough for 10 mins if kneading by hand, 4-5 mins if using a stand mixer.
- Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave to prove for 2 hours, until it doubles in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 12 equal balls. Place them onto two baking trays, lined with greaseproof baking paper, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 30 mins.
- Brush the maritozzi buns with some milk just before going to the oven.
- Bake in a preheated oven to 200C/180C fan for 10-15 mins.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool down.
- Make the filling by simply whisking the ingredients together for a few mins with an electric mixer.
- Cut the maritozzi open, pipe in some of the filling then dust with cocoa powder.
- Add some strawberries or crushed amaretti biscuits to decorate.
- Enjoy!
