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 yeast in the warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Mix and Knead: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Add the yeast mixture and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, ensuring a well-formed dough base.
- 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, developing flavor and volume.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create a sweet and aromatic filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll the dough out into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the peach filling over the dough, covering the surface thoroughly.
- Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from one side to the other and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish and allow them to rise again for 30 minutes to become fluffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Frosting: Beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, forming a luscious icing.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving for a rich and sweet finish.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches in season for best flavor, or canned peaches drained well if fresh is unavailable.
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute with plant-based butter and cream cheese alternatives.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before frosting to prevent the cream cheese topping from melting too much.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
