Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Frosting Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Add the yeast mixture and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-6 minutes in a mixer.
- First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined, creating a sweet and spicy peach filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, ensuring good coverage without overfilling.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge into a log shape. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30 minutes until fluffy and puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25 minutes until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls bake, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Finish and Serve: Once the rolls are baked and still warm, drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the top. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or canned peaches that are drained well to prevent soggy rolls.
- Kneading is key for soft and fluffy rolls. Use a stand mixer with a dough hook to save effort.
- Letting the rolls rise twice ensures they become nice and airy.
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon in the filling by 1 teaspoon.
- The rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
