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
- Activate Yeast: Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk along with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, all-purpose flour, and the yeast mixture. Mix together and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Shape Rolls: Roll the risen dough into a large rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, then roll it tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Second Rise: Place the slices in a greased baking dish, spaced evenly. Allow them to rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Frost: Beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the frosting over the warm rolls for a creamy finish.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor, or well-drained canned peaches if fresh are unavailable.
- The dough can be kneaded by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
- Ensure the milk temperature is around 110°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
- For extra fruity flavor, increase the peach filling slightly, but be cautious not to overfill which may cause leakage during baking.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
