Instructions
- 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.
- While your oven heats up, prepare the delicious 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 as you move on to the dough.
- In a large bowl, mix three and a half cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Slowly add in the warm milk and melted butter, followed by the egg. Knead the mixture together until it forms a soft, elastic dough. If your dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour until it’s manageable. It’s vital to keep the dough moist to maintain its softness.
- Once your dough is ready, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size. This step is essential for achieving fluffy rolls.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Then, sprinkle the spiced peach filling consistently across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for easy rolling.
- Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Use a serrated knife to slice the log into one-inch thick rolls. Arrange the rolls in the greased 9×13-inch baking dish, placing them closely together for a cozy bake.
- Bake the rolls in your preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to ensure they don’t overbake.
- While the rolls cool slightly, whip up the creamy frosting. In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until it’s smooth and spreadable. The frosting should be creamy but thick enough to drizzle over the rolls.
- Once the rolls have cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the frosting generously over the top. Serve warm for the best experience and enjoy this delicious break between the comforting warmth of cinnamon rolls and the refreshing taste of peaches.
Notes
Ensure your peaches are ripe for the best flavor, as under-ripe peaches can lead to a less sweet filling. If the dough is too sticky, simply chill it slightly in the refrigerator to make rolling easier. Using a serrated knife for slicing will help keep the rolls’ shape intact, preventing squishing. Frost the rolls slightly after they cool to avoid runny frosting and achieve the perfect drizzle.
