Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm milk about 110°F: Milk activates the yeast, providing the moisture necessary for the dough to rise properly.
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast: This is crucial for leavening allowing the rolls to rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar: Apart from sweetening sugar nourishes the yeast, promoting a good rise.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter: Gives richness and flavor to the dough contributing to its tenderness.
  • 1 tsp salt: Balances sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the rolls.
  • 2 large eggs: Eggs provide structure and moisture to the dough enriching its texture.
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour: The main structure of the rolls comes from flour providing the base for the dough.
For the Filling:
  • 2 cups diced peaches fresh or canned: The star of the filling, adding sweetness and juiciness. Fresh peaches provide a bright flavor, while canned peaches make this recipe accessible year-round.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar: Adds depth to the sweetness and a slight caramel flavor when baked.
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon: Infuses the filling with warmth and enhances the peach flavor.
For the Frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened: Provides a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the rolls.
  • 1/4 cup butter softened: Adds creaminess and richness to the frosting.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar: Sweetens the frosting while giving it a smooth texture that glides over the rolls.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor of the frosting making it more aromatic.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast over 1 cup of warm milk. Add a pinch of sugar and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 large eggs, and the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in 4 cups of all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 minutes. Transfer it to a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of diced peaches, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Mix to ensure the peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Assemble Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the rectangle into a log. Cut the log into 12 evenly sized slices. Place the slices in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cut side up, and cover to let rise for another 30 minutes.
  4. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  5. Prepare Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
  6. Finish: Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls. Serve and enjoy this delightful sweet treat!
