Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm milk (237 milliliters)
- ¼ cup melted butter (57 grams)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Flavoring and Topping Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by gently combining it with lukewarm milk (110°F/43°C) and sugar, allowing the mixture to become frothy and aromatic for approximately 5-7 minutes.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, gradually incorporate the activated yeast mixture with sifted all-purpose flour, softened butter, room-temperature eggs, and a pinch of salt, creating a smooth, elastic dough through thorough kneading.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free environment until it doubles in volume, approximately 1-1.5 hours.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape, approximately 12 x 16 inches (30 x 40 centimeters).
- Spread the prepared peach filling evenly across the dough’s surface, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage during rolling.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the longer side, ensuring a consistent and compact cylinder.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal rounds, each approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) thick.
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 centimeters) baking dish, allowing slight spacing between each roll for expansion.
- Cover the rolls and permit a second rise for 30-45 minutes, or until they become puffy and interconnected.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 22-28 minutes, or until they achieve a golden-brown color and sound hollow when gently tapped.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for 10-15 minutes before generously spreading the cream cheese frosting over the warm surface.
Notes
- Cinnamon rolls work best when dough rests at room temperature before rolling.
- Peach filling gets its intense flavor from ripe, seasonal summer fruits.
- Cream cheese frosting should be prepared while rolls are cooling to achieve perfect spreading consistency.
- Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator.
- Rolling technique matters: use gentle pressure to create tight, even spiral without squeezing out filling.
