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.
