Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 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
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Frosting
- 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. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
- Mix Dough Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead everything together until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
- 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 it doubles in size.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the sweet, spiced filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other, then cut into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and allow them to rise again for 30 minutes, letting them puff up beautifully.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls bake, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Finish and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over the top before serving for a deliciously rich finish.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches in season for the best flavor, or canned peaches drained well if fresh are not available.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time, during kneading.
- For softer rolls, cover them with a damp cloth during rising to prevent drying out.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm the day they are made but can be reheated gently.
- Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
