Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, diced (or canned, drained)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Step 1:

In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it’s just warm to the touch. Stir in the sugar and yeast, allowing it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture along with the melted butter and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3:

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4:

Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar evenly across the dough, then layer on the diced peaches.

Step 5:

Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 6:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 7:

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Enjoy warm.

Common Mistakes

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made is not letting the dough rise enough. Patience is key. Make sure it doubles in size; otherwise, your rolls won’t be as fluffy. Also, be mindful of the temperature when warming the milk. If it’s too hot, it can kill the yeast, leading to flat rolls.

Chef’s Notes

• Feel free to experiment with spices. Nutmeg can add a lovely warmth, too.
