Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 3 cups
- Warm milk: 1 cup
- Active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
- Unsalted butter (melted): 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons
- Diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained): 1 1/2 cups
- Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
- Powdered sugar: 1 1/2 cups
Instructions
- Step 1: **Activate Yeast and Prepare Dough.** In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Step 2: **Prepare Peach Filling and Roll Dough.** While the dough rises, combine 1 1/2 cups diced peaches (drained if canned), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a medium bowl. Mix well. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (approx. 12×18 inches).
- Step 3: **Assemble Rolls.** Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Then, spoon the peach filling mixture over the butter, leaving a small border on one long edge. Starting from the opposite long edge, carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12-14 equal rolls, about 1-inch thick.
- Step 4: **Bake.** Arrange the cut rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each. Cover loosely and let rise again for 20-30 minutes, while preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Step 5: **Prepare Glaze and Serve.** While the rolls are baking, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder in a small bowl until smooth. Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly for 5-10 minutes, then generously drizzle or spread the glaze over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep leftover rolls wonderfully fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- For a delightful next-day treat, gently warm individual rolls in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or tent with foil and reheat in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes until soft and warm throughout.
- Elevate your serving by adding a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top of the warm, glazed rolls for an extra decadent dessert experience.
- For a perfect filling, ensure your diced peaches, whether fresh or well-drained canned, are not overly wet; the added cornstarch is key to a beautifully set, non-soggy peach filling that holds its shape inside the rolls.
