Peach season is here! Peaches are one of my favorite foods by far, and I love having them for breakfast. I also love cinnamon rolls so in one of my brilliant lack of sleep moment I thought why not put the two together. I, of course, waited until I had a bit more sleep under my belt before I put this recipe together. That is how this amazing peach cinnamon rolls recipe became one of my families favorites.

Ingredients:

Dough:

1 cup warm water

2 Tablespoon quick rise yeast

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 cup lukewarm milk

1/2 cup softened butter

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

7 1/2 cup flour, divided

2 Tablespoon oil

For the cinnamon/peach filling:

1/3 cup butter

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup homemade brown sugar

2 cup very thinly sliced peach slices

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup sliced almonds (optional)

For the frosting:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened (not pictured)

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or more to taste if you like a more rich almond flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 – 1 lb. powdered sugar

 

Instructions:

In a small bowl, you want to combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Then set aside for 10 minutes.

Next, warm the milk in a microwave for 2 minutes, then in a large bowl combine milk, softened butter, salt, and sugar. Mix until the butter is melted. Once the butter is melted add in the eggs one at a time, then add in 3 cups flour one at a time letting each cup get mixed in then mix for 2 minutes.

Then add in the yeast mixture and 2 cups of flour. Make sure to mix well. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes.

Continue to mix while slowly adding remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour. The dough will start pulling away from the sides of the bowl, but is still quite sticky. Then beat 3 more minutes.

Then go ahead and coat another large bowl with 2 tablespoons oil.

Take the dough out of mixing bowl and place in oiled bowl, turning over once to coat each side.

Place a clean towel over the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, put dough out onto floured surface. Knead by hand, adding a little flour if needed. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FLOUR! You want the dough to remain very soft!

With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle shape about the size of a jelly roll pan (11 x 15 inches) and 1/2 inch thick. Melt 1/3 cup of butter in a microwave for 30 seconds or until just melted. Spread over the dough.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar over butter.

Arrange peach slices evenly over the dough and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and almonds (optional).

Roll the dough up starting with the long side; pinch seam to seal.

Cut into 1-inch rolls and place on greased cookie sheet.

Cover and let rise another 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-20 minutes or until lightly browned.

While your peach cinnamon rolls are baking, make your frosting. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, almond extract and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar until desired consistency. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.

Cool for 10 minutes before frosting.

That is it! Make sure to check out, even more, easy meals from us!
