Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (450 g) fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned, drained)
- ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 ½ cups (440 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk (110F/45C)
- 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsps milk or cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Yeast Activation: Combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to foam and become bubbly, signaling active yeast.
- Dough Formation: Blend activated yeast with remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg until smooth. Gradually incorporate flour, kneading until the dough becomes elastic and smooth, with a slight tackiness that rebounds when pressed.
- First Rise: Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rest in a warm, draft-free area. Allow the dough to expand and nearly double in volume, approximately one hour.
- Filling and Shaping: Deflate the risen dough and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape. Spread peach and cinnamon filling evenly, leaving a small border. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into uniform rolls.
- Second Rise and Preparation: Position rolls in a prepared baking dish, leaving slight spacing between them. Cover and let rise again in a warm location until puffy and light.
- Baking: Preheat oven to the specified temperature. Bake rolls until they achieve a golden-brown hue, with the peach filling bubbling and the dough cooked to a tender perfection.
Notes
- Yeast Activation Check: Ensure milk is warm (not hot) between 100-110°F to prevent killing yeast microorganisms, which can result in dense, flat rolls.
- Dough Consistency Control: Knead dough until smooth and elastic, avoiding over-mixing that creates tough, chewy texture; stop when dough springs back gently when pressed.
- Rising Environment Optimization: Place dough in draft-free, warm space around 80-85°F for ideal fermentation, using a proofing box or slightly warmed oven if kitchen is cool.
- Filling Distribution Technique: Spread peach mixture evenly, leaving small border to prevent leakage and ensure clean rolling process, using room temperature ingredients for smoother spreading.
