Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup canned or fresh peach slices (diced)
Peach Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup canned or fresh peach slices (diced)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, egg, melted butter, and yeast mixture. Add the flour and salt, then mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the Filling: Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the diced peaches over the filling.
- Roll Up the Dough: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
- Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the diced peaches, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Assemble the Rolls: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and arrange the rolls in the dish. Spoon the peach cobbler topping over the rolls, spreading it out evenly.
- Let Rise Again: Cover the baking dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze the Rolls: Once the rolls are done baking, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the peach cobbler cinnamon rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor, or canned peaches drained well if out of season.
- Ensure milk is warm but not too hot to activate yeast properly without killing it.
- Kneading the dough until smooth and elastic is key for soft, fluffy rolls.
- Letting the rolls rise twice helps develop a tender texture.
- Adjust glaze thickness with milk to preference: use less milk for thicker glaze and more for a thinner drizzle.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
