Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more if needed)
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced (drained if canned)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5–7 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1–1.5 hours).
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch.
- Cook the peach filling, stirring gently, until thickened (about 5 minutes). Let cool completely.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a 12×18-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the butter layer.
- Spoon the cooled peach filling evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log, then slice into 12 equal rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While baking, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to make the glaze.
- Spread the glaze over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe fresh peaches for best flavor, but canned works well in a pinch.
- Ensure the peach filling is completely cool before spreading to avoid soggy dough.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle chopped pecans or drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Rolls can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
