Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg and mix until ingredients are combined. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Make the Filling: While the dough is rising, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl to create the cinnamon sugar filling.
- Roll and Fill the Dough: After the dough has risen, roll it out into a 10 by 16-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the diced peaches evenly on top of the filling.
- Shape the Rolls: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Arrange the pieces cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold cubed butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the rolls in the baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes to become puffy.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For convenience, canned peaches can be used but ensure they are drained thoroughly to prevent soggy rolls.
- To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar filling or the cobbler topping.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently in a microwave or oven for freshness.
