Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Peach Filling

  • 6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk, plus more as needed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt to create an even dry mix.
  2. Activate Yeast: In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk (105-115°F) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy, confirming the yeast is active.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter and beaten eggs into the yeast mixture, whisking to combine thoroughly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour gradually if sticky.
  6. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, until it doubles in size.
  7. Prepare Peach Filling: In a large saucepan, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 8-10 minutes until thickened and jammy.
  8. Finish Peach Filling: Remove from heat, stir in butter until melted, then allow the filling to cool slightly.
  9. Punch Down Dough: After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air.
  10. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll dough into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
  11. Butter the Dough: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border along one long edge.
  12. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
  13. Spread Peach Filling: Evenly spread the cooled peach filling over the cinnamon sugar layer for balanced distribution.
  14. Form Roll: Starting from the long edge opposite the border, tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
  15. Slice Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a serrated knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
  16. Arrange in Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and place the rolls inside, leaving space between them.
  17. Second Rise: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or towel and let the rolls rise 30-45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.
  18. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  19. Bake Rolls: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Tent with foil if tops brown too fast.
  20. Cool Rolls: Let the rolls cool 10-15 minutes before frosting, allowing them to set slightly.
  21. Make Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then milk and vanilla, beating to a creamy glaze. Adjust milk to desired consistency.
  22. Glaze the Rolls: Spread the glaze generously over the warm rolls.
  23. Serve and Store: Serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure yeast is fresh and active for proper dough rise.
  • Do not skip the second rise; it ensures fluffy rolls.
  • Use dental floss for cutting rolls for clean edges and ease.
  • Let peach filling cool slightly to prevent melting the cinnamon sugar butter layer.
  • Store leftover rolls refrigerated and reheat gently to maintain softness.
