Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls

1. Prepare the Dough

1. In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F (45°C) and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Mix well.
3. Add the frothy yeast mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
4. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Filling

1. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. Peel and dice the peaches, then set aside.

3. Roll Out the Dough

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Spread the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Sprinkle the diced peaches evenly over the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture.

4. Roll and Cut the Rolls

1. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
2. Cut the log into 12-15 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.

5. Assemble and Let Rise

1. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.

6. Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the peaches are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Pour the peach cobbler topping evenly over the risen cinnamon rolls.

7. Bake the Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

8. Make the Glaze

1. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

9. Glaze and Serve

1. Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
3. Serve and enjoy your Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls!

Tips for Success

• Use Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but canned or frozen can be used in a pinch.
• Proper Rising: Make sure the dough rises properly for light and fluffy rolls.
• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the rolls to avoid overbaking, which can make them dry.

Variations

• Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the filling for added crunch.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of ginger or cloves to the filling for extra warmth.
• Different Fruits: Try using other fruits like apples or berries for a different twist.
