🧾 Ingredients
🌸 For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
🍑 For the Filling:
- 200 g cream cheese (softened)
- 2 ripe peaches (peeled and diced)
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍯 For the Glaze (optional but recommended):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk or cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
🥣 Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Make the Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Gently fold in the diced peaches to keep their texture intact.
3. Shape the Rolls
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (about 30 × 40 cm). Spread the cream cheese and peach filling evenly over the surface.
Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 9–12 equal rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
4. Second Rise
Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
5. Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
6. Add the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls for a glossy, sweet finish.
🍳 Methods & Tips for Success
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture.
- If peaches are very juicy, lightly pat them dry before adding.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the filling.
- Chill the dough slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
