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 granulated sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix in the yeast mixture and knead the dough until smooth. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. If the peaches are juicy, toss them with a tablespoon of flour to help thicken the filling.
- Assemble Rolls: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal slices. Place the slices in a greased baking dish. Cover and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Prepare Frosting: While the rolls bake, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Finish: Once the rolls are warm from the oven, drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over the top before serving.
Notes
- If using fresh or canned peaches with high moisture content, toss them with a tablespoon of flour to prevent the filling from becoming too runny during baking.
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast during activation.
- For a richer flavor, allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free spot.
- This recipe makes 12 rolls, perfect for sharing at a brunch or family gathering.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and warm gently before serving to enjoy freshness.
