Ingredients
Scale
1 cup warm milk
2 tsp active dry yeast
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup melted butter
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups diced peaches
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese
¼ cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Dough (The Dough Development):
Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk with a pinch of granulated sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes. This indicates the yeast is active and ready to use. If the yeast doesn’t froth, it may be old or inactive, and you’ll need to start again.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and all-purpose flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until the ingredients are combined.
Add the frothy yeast mixture to the bowl and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook to knead the dough.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. The rising time may vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
Make the Filling (The Filling Formation):
In a medium bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Ensure the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Assemble the Rolls (The Roll Assembly):
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
Spread the peach filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other, creating a log.
Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss. Dental floss provides a clean cut and prevents the rolls from being squished.
Place the slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, leaving some space between them to allow for further rising.
Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake (The Baking Bliss):
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center of a roll should come out clean.
Prepare Frosting (The Frosting Formation):
While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Adjust the consistency of the frosting by adding a little milk or cream if it’s too thick, or more powdered sugar if it’s too thin.
Finish (The Finishing Flour
Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled (but still warm), drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over them. The warmth of the rolls will help the frosting to melt slightly and spread evenly.
Serve the Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
