Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 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
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk with a pinch of granulated sugar and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour, then mix in the yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well to ensure the peaches are evenly coated with the cinnamon-sugar.
- Assemble Rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and allow the rolls to rise again for 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to beat until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
- Finish: Drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving to enjoy them at their best gooey, flavorful state.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor and texture, or canned/frozen peaches as alternatives.
- Roll the dough tightly and evenly for uniform cinnamon rolls with consistent filling layers.
- Proof the dough in a warm, draft-free environment for optimal rising and fluffy texture.
- Adjust sweetness in the peach filling and frosting according to personal taste preferences.
- Substitute peaches with apples, pears, or mixed berries for a different fruit filling variation.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for added crunch.
- To make vegan, use plant-based cream cheese and milk substitutes for the frosting and dough.
- Experiment with additional spices like cardamom or nutmeg to deepen the flavor complexity.
- Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individual rolls for up to one month.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through with the frosting slightly melted.
- You can prepare the rolls the night before baking; refrigerate after assembling and bake fresh in the morning.
- Ensure dough edges are sealed tightly after rolling to prevent filling leakage during baking.
