Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour – Forms the soft, tender dough.
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar – Adds sweetness to the dough.
- 1 teaspoon Salt – Enhances flavor.
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast – Helps dough rise and become fluffy.
- 1 cup Milk, warm – Activates yeast and tenderizes dough.
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted – Adds richness to the dough.
- 1 large Egg – Provides structure and moisture.
Peach Filling
- 2 cups Peaches, peeled and diced – Sweet, juicy filling for the rolls.
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar – Sweetens spiced peach filling.
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon – Adds warmth and classic flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg – Enhances spiced peach flavor.
Creamy Frosting
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened – Base for creamy frosting.
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar – Sweetens and thickens frosting.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract – Adds aromatic depth to frosting.
- 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream – Adjusts frosting consistency.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin your baking venture by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This crucial step ensures that your rolls will bake evenly and rise beautifully.
- Prepare Peach Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This spiced mix will enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches and infuse your rolls with a delightful flavor. Set this mixture aside.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Slowly add warm milk and melted butter, then the egg. Knead until the dough is soft and elastic, adding more flour if too sticky, keeping the dough moist to maintain softness.
- Let Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size. This process is essential for fluffy rolls.
- Roll Out Dough and Add Filling: Roll the risen dough out on a floured surface into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Spread melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the spiced peach filling over it, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Form Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from one edge into a log. Using a serrated knife, slice into one-inch thick rolls. Arrange them close together in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Monitor near the end to prevent overbaking.
- Make Frosting: While rolls cool slightly, in a medium bowl combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until smooth and spreadable, adjusting consistency as needed.
- Frost and Serve: After the rolls have cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the creamy frosting generously over them. Serve warm for the best experience and enjoy the delightful combination of cinnamon rolls with spiced peach flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
- Peach filling can be adjusted in sweetness depending on the ripeness of your peaches.
- If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches drained well can be used instead.
- For softer rolls, avoid adding too much extra flour during kneading.
- Frost the rolls when slightly warm to allow frosting to melt slightly without running off completely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Reheat rolls gently in the microwave before serving to revive freshness and softness.
