Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing it with tepid milk and a touch of sugar. Allow the mixture to become foamy and bubbly for approximately 5 minutes, indicating active fermentation.
- Create the dough base by combining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour in a spacious mixing bowl. Incorporate the activated yeast mixture and blend thoroughly until a uniform consistency develops. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, then transfer to a greased container and let it rise in a warm environment until it doubles in volume, roughly 1 hour.
- Prepare the peach filling by gently folding diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and preventing fruit breakage.
- On a lightly dusted surface, roll the risen dough into a rectangular shape. Distribute the peach mixture evenly across the dough’s surface, maintaining a consistent layer.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long edge, creating a tightly wound log. Slice the log into 12 uniform sections using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving sufficient space between each for expansion. Allow the rolls to undergo a second rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes until they transform into a golden-brown color with a slightly crisp exterior.
- While the rolls bake, craft the cream cheese frosting by whipping cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture becomes creamy and well-integrated.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool briefly. Generously spread or drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls, allowing it to slightly melt and enhance the overall flavor profile.
Notes
- Activate yeast carefully with warm (not hot) milk to ensure proper rising and prevent killing the yeast.
- Handle peaches gently to maintain their delicate texture and prevent turning into mushy filling.
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best balance of sweetness and structural integrity in the filling.
- Allow sufficient rising time for the dough to develop rich flavor and soft, pillowy texture.
