Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups diced peaches
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Combine warm milk and sugar in a bowl, sprinkle yeast, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until the dough forms and knead until smooth and elastic.
3. Let dough rise in a greased bowl for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
4. Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla for the cheesecake layer, then fold in diced peaches.
5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside softened butter.
6. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, spread butter, sprinkle sugar mixture, and layer cheesecake filling.
7. Roll into a log and slice into 12 pieces using floss or a sharp knife.
8. Place in a greased 9×13 pan, cover, and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
9. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
10. Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
For best results, let the dough rise fully before baking for extra fluffy rolls.
If using canned peaches, drain and pat them dry thoroughly.
Rolls are best eaten warm but can be stored and reheated easily.
