Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 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
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk with a pinch of granulated sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes, to ensure the yeast is active and ready for the dough.
- Prepare Dough: Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together until combined, then knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- Make Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. This mixture will provide the sweet, spiced flavor reminiscent of peach cobbler inside each roll.
- Roll and Fill Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, then tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Slice the rolled log into 12 equal pieces to form individual cinnamon rolls.
- Second Rise: Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they puff up.
- Bake Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for approximately 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
- Prepare Frosting: While the rolls bake, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Frost and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, fruity cinnamon rolls.
Notes
- You can use fresh peaches when in season or canned peaches drained well for convenience.
- Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- Allowing the dough to rise properly is key for soft, fluffy rolls.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans over the filling before rolling.
- Leftover cinnamon rolls can be refrigerated and warmed slightly before serving.
