                        Waking up to the smell of coffee is one of life's greatest pleasures. Just the aroma alone can almost give you that morning pick-me-up that you get from the caffeine rush in a steaming cup of brewed coffee.  But what if you can get the same sensations from a tray of freshly-baked bread? That is what coffee roti bun is all about, and more!

                       Coffee roti bun has just been in the market here in the Philippines not too long ago.  But the increasing number of fans of this bread can attest to the unique eating experience one can derive from sinking one's teeth into one of these.   Not unlike a Mexican sweet bun, the coffee roti bun has three components:  the sweet dough, the filling and the topping.  The sweet dough of coffee roti bun is especially airy.  The filling could be just plain sweetened butter or the more popular kaya filling, a spread made from eggs, coconut and sugar, and is like a cross between our local yema and matamis na bao.  The coffee-flavored topping is crisp and crunchy especially moments after it comes out of the oven, when it is at its best.

                        Coffee roti bun goes well with, well, a cup of coffee.  But is especially good with sweetened coffee or tea using condensed milk just like the way they serve in Asian coffee houses.  For breakfast, a poached egg or two will provide the bun a savory accompaniment.

                         Enjoy!
