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 warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy, which activates the yeast for a good rise.
- Mix Dough Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Add the yeast mixture and knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size, ensuring a fluffy texture.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon, creating a sweet and aromatic filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the peach filling over the dough surface to prepare for rolling.
- Form Rolls: Roll up the dough tightly into a log shape, then slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the slices into a greased baking dish, allowing them space to rise again.
- Second Rise: Let the sliced rolls rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place for extra fluffiness.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for approximately 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Prepare the Frosting: Beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls, allowing it to melt slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches in season or well-drained canned peaches for the best filling texture.
- Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to prevent killing the yeast.
- The dough can be refrigerated overnight after the first rise to develop more flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream cheese with vegan alternatives.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
