Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 4 cups All-purpose flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour for gluten-free version)
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast (Ensure it’s fresh for best results)
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (Coconut sugar can be a healthier alternative)
- 1 cup Milk (Substitute with almond milk for dairy-free option)
- 2 large Eggs (Replacing with flax eggs works for vegan variation)
- 1/2 cup Butter (Use vegan butter as a substitution)
Filling
- 2 cups Peach filling (fresh or canned peaches) (Swap with pears or apples if peaches are unavailable)
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon (Nutmeg can be used for a different flavor profile)
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar (White sugar can be used as an alternative)
Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (Leave out if desired, or substitute with powdered erythritol for sugar-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (Can be replaced with a dairy-free milk alternative for vegan version)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the active dry yeast and warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, and gradually mix in the flour. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover the dough and allow it to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the peach filling with cinnamon and brown sugar until well combined. This mixture will give the rolls their distinct fruity and spicy flavor.
- Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 16×12 inches. Spread the peach cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log from the longer side and cut it into 12 even slices.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls into a greased baking pan, leaving some space between each. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes to achieve fluffiness.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk as needed.
- Glaze and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy the soft, peach-infused cinnamon rolls.
Notes
- You can substitute the peach filling with pear or apple filling if peaches are not in season.
- For a vegan version, use almond milk, flax eggs, and vegan butter.
- To make gluten-free rolls, use a gluten-free flour blend that works for yeast dough.
- Letting the dough rise adequately is key to achieving fluffy cinnamon rolls.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar quantities in filling and glaze.
- Fresh peaches can be poached slightly before using to ensure softness in the filling.
