Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 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

  • 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained if using 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

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk with a pinch of granulated sugar. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare Dough: Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
  3. Mix Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly coat the peaches with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Evenly spread the peach filling over the dough’s surface.
  5. Form Rolls: Starting at the long edge of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them into a greased baking dish, spaced evenly. Cover and allow the rolls to rise a second time for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Prepare Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost Rolls: Remove the rolls from the oven and while they are still warm, drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting over the tops, allowing it to melt slightly into the rolls.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to correctly activate the yeast.
  • For best flavor, use fresh peaches when they are in season.
  • These cinnamon rolls can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before reheating.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for half the amount of all-purpose flour to make a healthier version.
  • If cream cheese is unavailable, Greek yogurt or a simple powdered sugar glaze can be used as alternatives for the frosting.
  • Adding almond extract to the frosting or citrus zest to the peach filling can enhance the flavor.
