Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup warm milk to activate yeast
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast for leavening
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness
  • 0.25 cup butter, melted provides moisture
  • 2 large eggs for structure and richness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances flavor
  • 3.5 cup all-purpose flour forms the dough
  • 1 tsp salt balances sweetness

Filling Ingredients

  • 0.3333 cup butter, softened for spreading
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed sweet filling
  • 1 tsp cinnamon for warmth and flavor
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced small fresh fruit flavor

Glaze Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened for the glaze
  • 2 cup powdered sugar sweetness for the glaze
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream adds richness to the glaze
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for the glaze

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Activate the yeast by combining it with warm milk and a pinch of sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for about five minutes until foamy.
  • Stir in the remaining sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until mixed into a smooth batter.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring to combine.
  • Knead the dough by hand or on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Dough Rising

  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set it in a warm area to let it rise for approximately 1 hour until doubled in size.

Filling and Shaping

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a 12x18-inch rectangle.
  • Spread softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon, and scatter diced peaches on top.
  • Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch pan, cut side up. Cover with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.

Gilding

  • Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Prepare the glaze by beating together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh, avoid over-kneading the dough, and store any leftovers in an airtight container.
