Dough Ingredients
- 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 Ingredients
- 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 Ingredients
- 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 small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add in the eggs, melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix all ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach filling with cinnamon and brown sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and sugar among the peaches.
- Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 16×12 inches.
- Add the Filling: Spread the peach-cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Form the Rolls: Starting from one long side, gently roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover the dish and allow the rolls to rise again for about 30 minutes until puffed.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: When the rolls are out of the oven but still warm, drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your fluffy peach pie cinnamon rolls!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegan butter.
- Ensure yeast is fresh to help the dough rise properly.
- You can swap peaches with similar fruits like pears or apples based on availability.
- Adjust sugar quantities if you prefer less sweetness.
- Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container and warmed before serving.
