Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 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
For the Filling:
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Prepare the Dough
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until frothy.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
2. Make the Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the peaches are well-coated with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
3. Assemble the Rolls
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the risen dough into a large rectangle, approximately 16×12 inches.
- Add the Filling: Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, ensuring the peaches and cinnamon sugar are distributed across the surface.
- Roll and Cut: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Place in Pan: Arrange the slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
4. Bake the Rolls
- Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Prepare the Frosting
- While the rolls are baking, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the frosting is creamy and smooth.
6. Finish and Serve
- Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Frost the Rolls: Drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls.
- Serve immediately and enjoy these soft, peach-filled cinnamon rolls for a decadent treat!
